Abstract

Cavernous sinus thrombosis or thrombophlebitis is a major life threatening complication of orofacial infections. The diagnosis was based on case history and clinical presentation of the condition. We presented a case of cavernous sinus thrombosis presented with typical features involving the eye with a maxillary tooth as a focus of infection. The patient was treated by aggressive measures which includes supportive therapy along with surgical management.
