ANNALS ABBASI SHAHEED HOSPITAL & KARACHI MEDICAL & DENTAL COLLEGE(2015)
Abstract
Odontogenic infections lead to life-threatening complications once they reach potential fascial spaces due to decreased immunity in pregnancy. It may also occur due to patient negligence, delayed diagnosis and mismanagemnet. Infratemporal space infection is a rare but a serious sequel of odontogenic infection. We report the case of a 20 year old, four months pregnant patient with carious left maxillary first molar with fascial space infection. Following extraction of this tooth and despite appropriate antibiotics the patient developed infection in the infratemporal and masticator space, followed by a orbital abscess.
