Two very unusual cases of recurrent meningioma characterised by cheek swelling and proptosis of the eye are reported. Clinical and histological features are described and the literature reviewed.
A survey of 141 cases of osteomyelitis of the jaws is presented. The salient clinical features, the aetiology and treatment of the lesions are described. A high incidence of the disease in the maxilla is noted. Lesions of the maxilla mainly occurred in patients in the first decade of life, whilst those of the mandible affected individuals in the third decade. The possible relationship between infection, blood supply to the jaw bone, and associated debilitating conditions is examined.
