Abstract :
- A rare and possibly dangerous condition is
known as odontogenic septic thrombosis of the cavernous
sinuses. Fever, headache, exophthalmos,
ophthalmoplegia, and chemosis are some of its clinical
symptoms, and the prognosis is dependent on early
diagnosis and prompt, effective treatment. The risk of
long-term consequences continues to be considerable
despite effective treatment care.
We report a case of a patient who developed a fatal septic
thrombophlebitis of the cavernous sinus as a result of an
orbital extension from a tooth infection.
Keywords :
Cavernous sinus thrombosis; Dental infection; Septic, orbital cellulitis.
