case_images: A maxillofacial computed tomography (CT) scan with contrast revealed angular venous thrombosis of unknown acuity with an abrupt diminishment in the caliber of the superior palpebral vein and dilatation of the facial vein inferiorly (Figure 2). The CT was negative for dilatation or thrombosis in the communicating danger zone or intraocular veins, including the lacrimal vein, superior ophthalmic vein, or cavernous sinus (Figure 2).
