A Case of Panophthalmitis Secondary to Odontogenic Maxillary Sinusitis.

Endogenous endophthalmitis is a bacterial or fungal infection within the eye that includes the vitreous and aqueous humors. Panophthalmitis is a subtype of endogenous endophthalmitis that also includes infection of the adjacent soft tissue of the orbit. We present a case of a 91-year-old female who initially presented with left eye pain and decreased vision. She was found to have panophthalmitis secondary to odontogenic maxillary sinusitis. To our knowledge, there has not been a case reported in the literature before that has established this association between panophthalmitis and odontogenic maxillary sinusitis.
