Cerebral abscesses of odontogenic origin are uncommon. Cerebral abscesses are often caused by cardiac and pulmonary disease or infections such as skin or abdominal infections. However, there have been some reported incidences of cerebral abscesses caused by odontogenic infection. This paper aims to discuss a case report whereby an odontogenic infection was the most probable cause of a cerebral abscess in a paediatric patient. CPD/Clinical Relevance: To discuss the importance of oral disease as a potential causative factor for cerebral infection.

Peripheral skeletal infections caused by Mycobacterium are widely reported in the literature. Unfamiliarity with this disease, or oversight caused by inexperience may result in failure to thoroughly investigate the presence of this organism. An unusual case of tuberculous osteomyelitis involving the second digit of the foot is presented. The authors emphasize the importance of including cultures of acid-fast bacillus in the work-up of atypical infectious processes of the foot and ankle, and include Mycobacterium in their differential until it is positively ruled out. An in-depth radiologic review is included.
