Osteomyelitis of anterior maxilla involving bilateral sinuses post-rodenticide toxicity: a case report

Key Points

This case aims to highlight a rare presentation of osteomyelitis due to rodenticide-induced coagulopathy and its complications.
Detailed patient history was obtained to trace the exposure to rodenticide.
Clinical examination was performed to assess osteonecrosis signs.
Surgical intervention was undertaken to address the bacterial infection.
Osteonecrosis was confirmed in the maxilla due to secondary bacterial invasion.
Coagulopathy was directly linked to the rodenticide toxicity.
Early surgical intervention prevented further deformity and progression of the disease.

Abstract

This case illustrates a rare but plausible toxicologically mediated osteonecrosis of the maxilla, likely secondary to rodenticide-associated coagulopathy and subsequent mucosal ulceration, leading to secondary bacterial invasion. Early recognition of unusual etiological factors, meticulous history-taking, and timely surgical intervention are essential for preventing progression and deformity.
