Abstract
In the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, patients with trismus can be easily identified.If the cause of trismus is infection of the mastica-tory space near the pterygoid plexus, the possibility of cavernous sinus thrombosis should be considered. We report the case of a patient who presented with limited mouth opening and progressed to cavernous sinus thrombosis, along with a review of the relevant literature.
