Introduction: Osteomyelitis is an inflammation of medullary portion of bone along with cortex and periosteum. It is one of most difficult infectious diseases to treat. Facial bones are prone to osteomyelitis due to various predisposing condition. Osteomyelitis of maxilla is rare disease and less frequently encountered. Objective: The aim of the article is to present an unusual case of chronic maxillary osteomyelitis secondary to rhinogenic which are rarely clinically causes. Case report: We hereby report a case of chronic maxillary osteomyelitis in 70-year-old non-immunocompromised patient secondary to chronic maxillary sinusitis. Complete resolution of chronic maxillary osteomyelitis was achieved by combination of antimicrobial therapy and surgical treatment. Conclusion: Clinician should identify such risk and provide the aggressive treatment modalities to avoid subsequent dreaded consequences.

“…Whether maxillary lesions were equally rare in the past, particularly in periods where oral hygiene appears to have been poorer, is less certain. As osteomyelitis is highly challenging to treat in modern cases, requiring a combination of antibiotic and surgical therapies (Singh et al, 2010), it is difficult to estimate the impact or prevalence of such infections in the absence of modern treatments. Likewise, it should be assumed that the true frequency of sinus lesions in past populations is underreported in bioarchaeology.…”

AbstractThis report provides a differential diagnosis of an exostotic bony lesion within the left maxillary sinus of a Romano-British (3 rd to 4 th century AD) adult male from Newport, Lincoln. Macroscopic, radiographic, and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) analyses suggest that the lesion is likely of odontogenic origin. The overall size of the lesion and areas of sclerosis and radiolucency, together with its hypothesised odontogenic origin, suggest that the lesion represents a chronic exostotic osteomyelitic reaction to the presence of odontogenic bacteria. While modern case studies of odontogenic maxillary sinus osteomyelitis are noteworthy, published cases of this condition are extremely rare in an archaeological context and may be underreported due to the enclosed nature of the sinuses. Such infections may have serious implications for individual and population health, and non-destructive investigation should be considered in cases where significant maxillary caries are present.

“…Pus exudes around the gingival sulcus or through mucosal and cutaneous fistulae. [3] In the maxillofacial region, maxillary osteomyelitis is much less frequent compared to mandible. The maxilla rarely undergoes necrosis because of the unique features viz., rich vascularity, thin cortical plate and a relative scarcity of medullary tissue.…”

Osteomyelitis is an inflammatory bone disease commonly related to an infectious origin. Osteomyelitis was relatively common before the era of antibiotic therapy. Today osteomyelitis of facial bones is a rare condition. Maxillary osteomyelitis is rare compared to mandiblar osteomyelitis because extensive blood supply & strut like bone of the maxilla make it less prone to chronic infection. A 70 year old female presented to us with pus discharge from left maxilla following dental extraction with offensive odour. Examination revealed a necrotic maxilla on the left side with pus disharge. A computed tomography scan confirmed Osteomyelitis of left Maxilla. Patient underwent surgical excision. Satisfactory results were obtained with appropriate antibiotics and surgical excision. Adult Osteomyelitis remains one of the most difficult-to-treat infectious diseases, with considerable morbidity and costs to the health care system. Osteomyelitis is now such a rare entity that when presented, the possibility of underlying pathology should be considered and appropriately investigated for.
