Cavernous Sinus Thrombophlebitis (Sans Thrombosis) Secondary to Odontogenic Fascial Space Infection: An Uncommon Complication with Unusual Presentation

Authors: Sundararaman Prabhu, Sachin Kumar Jain, Vankudoth Dal Singh

Published in: Journal of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery | Special Issue 1/2015

Abstract

We discuss an unusual presentation of non-thrombotic cavernous sinus involvement in a patient who was treated for odontogenic fascial space infection arising from a maxillary molar. The highlights were ipsilateral abducens sparing, contralateral abducens involvement and lack of significant orbital congestion. The patient recovered with conservative treatment.
