Objective: The aim of this report is to demonstrate that acute rhino-sinusitis may result in orbital cellulitis and even life threatening complications especially intracranial abscesses in children and young adults. Rare complications such as subperiosteal abscess seen in this patient may also occur Morbidity and mortality can be prevented through early diagnosis and treatment by relevant specialists. Method: We present a case report and literature review on unilateral pansinusitis complicated with orbital cellulitis and subperiosteal abscess of the frontal bone. Results: Following a diagnosis of orbital cellulitis and subperiosteal abscess of the frontal bone from a unilateral pansinusitis, an initial intravenous antibiotic was given for 72 hours, followed by a surgical drainage with subsequent rapid improvement. Conclusion: Acute rhinosinusitis may be complicated by orbital cellulitis and abscess formation. Prompt referral to a tertiary health facility as well as ooperation between the Ophthalmologists and Otorhinolaryngologists is very important to prevent life threatening complications. Key words: Orbital cellulitis, Pansinusitis, Subperiosteal abscess

BACKGROUND: Nowadays, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) are commonly used in dentistry with an advantage about significantly lower dose comparing with CT-Scanner. Utilizing CBCT images which are indicated in dentistry like orthodontics can help diagnose diseases beyond dentistry field. One rare phenomenon can be seen in maxillary sinus, which is often overlooked by dentists, is ectopic teeth. CASE REPORT: This article describes one orthodontic case found accidentally an ectopic tooth in maxillary sinus by inspecting CBCT images. CONCLUSION: Dentists and oral radiologists should carefully inspect non-dental structures, like maxillary sinus, even its distance from the dentoalveolar region, especially in asymptomatic patients.

Group B β-hemolytic streptococci have gained much attention in recent years as a cause of serious infection in the newborn. Two clinical syndromes have been defined as "early onset" fulminant septicemia and a "late onset" meningitis.1,2 Howard and McCracken,3 more recently, have documented some previously unrecognized clinical presentations of group B streptococcal disease. These include asymptomatic bacteremia, septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, ethmoiditis with orbital cellulitis, pneumonia with empyema, facial cellulitis, and conjunctivitis. The literature to date reports five instances of osteomyelitis due to group B streptococci as reported in four articles.3-6 This case report of group B streptococcal osteomyelitis is presented to emphasize the insidious nature of this infection in a neonate and the lack of systemic toxicity with which it occurs.
