Osteopetrosis is a rare condition which presents increased bone density and deficient bone remodeling. The consequential complications include cranial nerve impairment due compression, bone fractures, and osteomyelitis. Maxillary osteomyelitis is uncommon even in osteopetrosis patients. This is a systematic review of the literature regarding the management and outcomes of maxillary osteomyelitis in patients with autosomal dominant osteopetrosis (ADO) type II. A case of this specific pathology is reported. There are 18 cases of maxillary osteomyelitis associated with ADO type II reported in the literature. The mean age of the patients reported was 33.5 (SD 15.9) years, and the male:female ratio was 1:1. Antibiotic therapy was variable, and amoxicillin with clavulanic acid was the main choice (33.33%). Surgery or sequestrectomy was performed in 88.89% of the studies. Complete healing was achieved in only 44.4% of cases. The treatment protocols remain controversial and often do not lead to complete healing. In the case that we report, complete healing was achieved after prolonged antibiotic therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and partial resection. In conclusion, the management of maxillary osteomyelitis in ADO type II patients is challenging, and complete resolution of the process is dependent on multiple interventions.

Osteopetrosis, also known as marble bone disease, is a genetic condition characterised by generalised sclerosis of bones. The osteoclastic cells responsible for bone resorption are defective and nonfunctional. These patients tend to have low bone quality in spite of increased bone deposition and thus experience multiple fractures during their life span.

Autoinflammatory bone diseases (AIBDs) constitute a recently identified subset of autoinflammatory diseases. These conditions are characterized by an exaggerated inflammatory response in the bones without any apparent etiology. Inflammatory bone lesions associated with AIBDs exhibit chronic inflammation, are typically culture-negative, and do not exhibit discernible microorganisms on histopathological examination.

Oroantral fistula (OAF) represents the pathological communication between the oral cavity and maxillary sinus. This condition arises when the structural integrity of the maxillary sinus floor is compromised, resulting in a direct conduit between the sinus and the oral cavity. A less prevalent yet clinically significant contributor to the formation of OAF is chronic osteomyelitis of the maxilla.

Article Synopsis
- - A 61-year-old male with diabetes and hypertension experienced severe facial pain due to complications from COVID-19, including osteomyelitis affecting his frontal sinus and upper jaw.
- - Imaging revealed thickening of the maxillary sinus and several damaging lesions in the frontal sinus, which led to brain abscesses identified through culture tests.
- - The treatment included antibiotics and surgery (trephination and drainage), along with other medications and sessions in a hyperbaric chamber to promote healing.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examined 50 mucormycosis patients at a Chennai tertiary care center, focusing on their symptoms, duration, progression, and comorbidities.
- - CT and MRI scans assessed facial bone involvement, revealing that the nasal cavity and maxillary sinuses were the first affected, with severe cases leading to complications like rhino-orbito-cerebral infection and bone erosion.
- - Out of the patients, 22 experienced facial bone involvement requiring surgical debridement; aggressive treatment is essential due to the infection’s high mortality rate, emphasizing the need for early diagnosis and intervention.
