dc.description.abstractCentral nervous system infections and cavernous sinus thrombosis are associated with high mortality rates and may be a consequence of oral infection propagation. A 24-year-old woman has attended a private dental office with a pain complaint in the upper right central incisor and had the endodontic treatment completed. However, the patient returned to the dental office reporting pain in the same tooth and the presence of swelling. Then, the root canal was retreated. After one week, the patient presented to a Basic Health Unit with a history of vomiting and convulsion crisis followed by loss of consciousness. A computed tomography exam showed cavernous sinus thrombosis and brain ischaemic areas. The present report describes a rare case of cavernous sinus thrombosis followed by brain ischaemia in a type-1 diabetic patient, associated with persistent endodontic infection, with subsequent patient’s death.en
