^_;

here ur answer!
_____________

Cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST) was first reported by Bright et al. in 18311. CST is an infectious disease that is potentially fatal if it is not treated in its early stage. Before antibiotics were developed, the mortality rate of CST was almost 100%. Even given medical advances, the mortality rate is still approximately 20%2. Furthermore, despite treatment, complications of CST such as cranial nerve dysfunction may remain.

Dental infections are not common sources of CST. There are very few reports of CST related to periodontal disease or to tooth extraction3. The authors present a case in which misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment of a buccal cheek laceration due to an ill-fitting denture resulted in a buccal space abscess that progressed into cst.
