A rare case of severe facial cellulitis after tooth extraction led to significant nerve damage. This complication highlights potential risks even without typical risk factors, impacting quality of life.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Head and neck odontogenic infections have decreased due to antibiotics.
  • Tooth extraction can, in rare cases, lead to severe complications.

Observation:

  • A patient developed acute diffuse facial cellulitis post-tooth extraction.
  • The patient had no identifiable risk factors for severe infection.

Findings:

  • The infection caused bilateral injury to cranial nerves: hypoglossal, vagal, glossopharyngeal, and recurrent.
  • The patient requires a tracheotomy tube and nasogastric feeding due to nerve damage.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the potential for severe neurological sequelae from odontogenic infections.
