Fulltext PDFOsteomyelitis is an infection of the medullary cavity that first affects the haversian system and then spreads to affect the periosteum.Patients who visit a tertiary healthcare facility always report having the disease in an advanced stage with difficulties because it frequently develops in the fifth and sixth decades of life. Osteomyelitis frequently develops in immunocompromised people as a side effect of odontogenic infections. Malnutrition, diabetes mellitus, leukemia, anemia, syphilis, agranulocytosis, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy are additional risk factors. In India, 45.1% of the rural diabetic population had maxillary osteomyelitis.Because to increased awareness, accessibility to antibiotics, and improved oral health care, osteomyelitis of the jaws, which was once a feared illness in the pre-antibiotic period, has decreased in frequency. Common radiologic findings include "moth-eaten" appearance, the presence of "sequestra" (dead bone) and "involucrum" (new bone), and on occasion, more advanced imaging modalities like cone beam computed tomography scan (CBCT) may be used in cases with atypical presentation to confirm the presence and extent of the lesion. Cranial cavities may become infected as a result of maxillary osteomyelitis. Therefore, early detection and fast treatment are essential to averting negative outcomes. We provide a case of osteomyelitis of the entire maxilla that was detected, treated, and underwent frequent follow-up despite the patient's lack of symptoms and unusual clinical presentation.
