Abstract

Eye globe rupture with consequent enucleation is an extremely rare complication of orbital infection spreading from maxillary sinusitis related to dental implant surgery. We report a case of orbital abscess leading to rupture of the globe of the eye in a 60-year-old woman with acute unilateral maxillary sinusitis after dental implant surgery on the left maxillary alveolar bone. The patient had uncontrolled diabetes. Despite surgical intervention, infection of the maxillary sinuses spread to the ocular area, causing disastrous results. To our knowledge, this entity has not been reported previously.
