Diagnosis and treatment of pansinusitis: report of case.

A case of acute pansinusitis with the complication of orbital cellulitis has been described. The patient initially had pain around the maxillary right first molar. Accurate diagnosis allowed for prompt, vigorous treatment, culminating in surgical intervention. The need for dental and oral surgical practitioners to be thoroughly familiar with all of the manifestations of paranasal sinus disease cannot be overemphasized.
