  • Title: Subdural empyema resulting from displacement of a root into the maxillary antrum.
    Author: Woolley EJ, Patel M.
    Journal: Br Dent J; 1997 Jun 14; 182(11):430-2. PubMed ID: 9217340.
    Abstract:
    Subdural empyema is a rare but serious complication of paranasal sinusitis which may result in death or permanent disability in a significant proportion of cases. A case is presented in which displacement of a premolar root in the maxillary sinus led to a subdural empyema and a resultant left-sided hemiplegia. This case illustrates the necessity of early surgical intervention to remove displaced roots in the maxillary antrum in order to prevent the serious complications of paranasal sinusitis.
