Cavernous Sinus Thrombosis and Blindness After Simple Tooth Extraction in Patient Who Recovered From Coronavirus 2019: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT

The pandemic Coronavirus 2019 is a disease transmitted either by droplets from a person's sneeze or cough or direct spread; also known as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2. Although the morbidity of the disease is mainly related to respiratory distress, the associated inflammatory response can induce various coagulopathies despite an anticoagulant therapy. The authors are documenting a case of a diabetic patient who recovered from Coronavirus 2019 and is on prophylactic anticoagulant therapy after routine extraction of a maxillary second molar that progressed to unilateral cavernous sinus thrombosis and loss of vision.
