Highlights Subperiosteal orbital abscess is a rare complication of a dental infection. Antibiotics alone are ineffective and do not guarantee arrest of the infection spread. The possible route of infection spread should be determined, and is illustrated in this report. Postseptal infections require a more aggressive approach compared to preseptal infections. In case of an orbital infection, intraoral examination and dental radiography may not be overlooked.
