Orbital abscess during endodontic treatment: A case report
2012, Journal of EndodonticsCitation Excerpt :The incidence of visual loss in cases of odontogenic orbital cellulitis reached up to 46% of severe vision loss (8). Other sequelae reported for orbital infections are meningitis, cavernous sinus thrombosis, brain abscess, hemiparesis, seizures, subdural empyema, superior orbital fissure syndrome, orbital apex syndrome, and death (1–6, 8–10). In this case, no permanent visual or systemic sequelae were observed.

2007, Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology, and EndodonticsCitation Excerpt :Therefore, ophthalmoplegia, ptosis, proptosis, a dilated pupil, and sensory interference can occur. Orbital apex syndrome includes the signs of superior orbital fissure syndrome as well as optic neuropathy and blindness.15-17 The clinical manifestations of cavernous sinus involvement include marked eyelid edema and discoloration, ophthalmoplegia, paresthesia in the distribution of ophthalmic and maxillary division of the fifth cranial nerve, bilateral orbital involvement, altered states of consciousness, and generalized sepsis.15-17
