Odontogenic Orbital Cellulitis due to an Oroantral Fistula following Dental Extraction: A Case Report

In conclusion, this case highlights a rare presentation of OOC due to an OAF occurring months after dental extraction. Immediate imaging due to atypical history, including lack of dental pain, allowed for prompt identification of the OAF and subsequent use of appropriate broad-spectrum antibiotics resulting in a favorable outcome compared to previously published cases. It is critical to recognize odontogenic infections as treatment differs from other etiologies of orbital cellulitis.

Abstract

In conclusion, this case highlights a rare presentation of OOC due to an OAF occurring months after dental extraction. Immediate imaging due to atypical history, including lack of dental pain, allowed for prompt identification of the OAF and subsequent use of appropriate broad-spectrum antibiotics resulting in a favorable outcome compared to previously published cases. It is critical to recognize odontogenic infections as treatment differs from other etiologies of orbital cellulitis.
