We discuss an unusual presentation of nonthrombotic 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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
