Isolated Meningitis and Lacrimal Gland Abscess due to Odontogenic Sinusitis: Case Report

ABSTRACT: Our objective was report an extremely rare case of isolated meningitis and suppurative dacrioadenitis as consequences of odontogenic sinusitis. We describe the diagnostic tools including imaging and culture, as well as surgical treatment and follow-up. Our final diagnosis was odontogenic s...
