Orbital fractures caused by penetrating injury may be associated with intracranial infection. Such complication associated with blunt trauma, orbital roof fractures, and odontogenic abscesses is exceedingly rare.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nCase Description: <\/jats:title>\nWe report the case of a 40-year-old transgender female with a frontal abscess presenting several weeks following a motor vehicle crash from which she suffered multiple facial fractures and an odontogenic abscess. On computed tomography scan, the patient had multiple right-sided facial fractures, including a medial orbital wall fracture and a right sphenoid fracture extending into the superior orbital roof. There was hemorrhage notable in the right frontal lobe. Communication with the ethmoid sinuses likely provided a conduit for bacterial spread through the orbit and into the intracranial and subdural spaces.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nConclusion: <\/jats:title>\nSkull base fractures that communicate with a sinus, whether it be frontal, ethmoid, or sphenoid may increase the risk of brain abscess, especially in patients who develop an odontogenic abscess. Surgical repair of the defect is essential, and treating patients prophylactically with antibiotics may be beneficial.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni_813_2022","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,18]],"date-time":"2022-11-18T06:46:53Z","timestamp":1668754013000},"page":"539","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Development
