Abstract
To report the case of a 67-year-old male patient with odontogenic maxillary sinusitis who presented with unilateral parainfectious intraorbital optic neuritis without clinical signs and symptoms suggestive of orbital cellulitis. Despite the absence of clinical signs, taking a thorough history and obtaining the appropriate neuroimaging study raised the suspicion for an infectious etiology as the cause of optic neuropathy and stopped the continuation of corticosteroid treatment.
