- 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.
