Abstract

A 31yr old Type 1 diabetes mellitus presented with exudative retinal detachment due to rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis secondary to a periodontal abscess developed following a tooth extraction. He received liposomal amphotericin B. We report this case for the rarity in combination of exudative retinal detachment in a case of orbital cellulitis as well for its rarest origin following a dental extraction.
