Esotropia following posterior superior alveolar nerve block.

Adequate use of local anesthetics is an important phase of modern dentistry. Regardless of the care used in administration of local anesthetics, unusual reactions can occur. A case is presented in which posterior superior alveolar administration of two percent Lidocaine 1/100,000 epinephrine resulted in medial rotation of the orbit (esotropia).

Carotid cavernous fistula after minimal facial trauma. Report of a case.

The carotid cavernous fistula has historically been associated with extensive facial trauma as a result of direct or indirect forces. Most fistulas of traumatic origin develop as a result of a fracture through the base of the skull, which produces a force causing laceration of the internal carotid artery in the region where it approximates the cavernous sinus. We report a case in which apparently minimal head trauma resulted in the development of a carotid cavernous fistula. The rather innocuous presentation of this complication requires particular attention by the caregiver in assessing the patient sustaining maxillofacial trauma.
