A case of transverse sinus thrombosis is described in an adolescent male with antecedent meningomyelocele corrected by surgery, and ventriculo-peritoneal derivation. Four months before the occurrence of thrombosis, he presented with bilateral otitis media and mastoiditis, and was treated with antibiotic. Magnetic resonance images were not obtained before referral to our hospital. The patient received full anticoagulation and his clinical course was uneventful. He remains asymptomatic under outpatient surveillance till this report. The aim of reporting the case is to emphasize the role of otologic infections in the origin of intracranial thrombotic phenomena, and highlights the findings of magnetic resonance venography for characterization of intracranial sinus thrombosis.
