Frontal lobe abscess of dental origin. Report of a case.

A 52-year-old white man came to our hospital with obscure signs of disease. Multiple laboratory tests, radiographs, and examinations ruled out aseptic meningitis, bacterial endocarditis, cerebral artery aneurysm, and other possibilities. A brain abscess was finally diagnosed. The teeth and their surrounding tissues were implicated as the etiologic factors. The importance of odontogenic sources as potential foci of infection is emphasized. This sequel to odontogenic infection is quite rare, but it can be prevented by removal of chronically carious teeth and periapical pathosis.

Unilateral mydriasis during general anesthesia.

A healthy 24-year-old woman was taken to the operating room for surgical removal of impacted third molars while under general anesthesia. During surgery, a local anesthetic was administered, resulting in mydriasis, which was initially mistaken for a central nervous system deficit secondary to a complication from general anesthetic.

Eagle's syndrome. Report of a case.

This case report demonstrates an uncommon, symptomatic elongated styloid process that did not conform to the usual clinical features. The patient was under 30 years of age when the symptoms appeared. He experienced the classic symptoms without prior tonsillectomy; he also experienced carotid artery syndrome symptoms. However, the patient did receive the common diagnosis seen in many cases of unexplained chronic head and neck pain. He was simply labeled a psychotic with no just cause for pain.
