The traumatic effects of such vulnerable points are beautifully described in Ayurvedic applied anatomy

Summary
Any spreading infection involving the upper nasal cavities, paranasal sinuses, cheek (especially near the medial canthus), upper lip, anterior nares or even an upper incisor or canine tooth, may very rarely lead to septic thrombosis of the cavernous sinuses as infected thrombi pass from the facial vein or pterygoid venous complex into the sinus (via either ophthalmic veins or emissary veins that enter the cranial cavity through the foramen ovale). If such conditions are not managed properly death is inevitable.[15] As classical description states the vascular communication with the sense organs; infections of the face including the nose, tonsils, and orbits can spread by this route.
