Abstract
A case is reported of a female patient who presented with a fulminant spread of an infection of odontogenic origin. The infection extended into the orbit where orbital abscess formation developed which resulted in loss of the affected globe. Different routes of spread of an infection of the dentition, per continuitatem and by venous facial vasculature are discussed.
