Brain abscess is known to occur (1) as hematogenous or metastatic abscesses in normal individuals, (2) in children with cyanotic congenital heart disease,1,2 (3) secondary to sinus or mastoid infection,3-5 and (4) secondary to trauma. The following report of brain abscess in three children undergoing dilatation of the esophagus should alert the clinician to undertake a careful evaluation in any child developing neurologic dysfunction while undergoing esophageal dilatation. CASE REPORTS Case 1 A 4-month-old infant with congenital esophageal atresia had retrograde bougienage performed monthly. At the age of 2 months, after one of the dilatations, the child had had an episode of "suspected meningitis," but returned to normal within three days without therapy.

History Of

Acquired megaesophagus is an uncommon cause of regurgitation in dogs. Diagnosis is confirmed by simple or contrast radiographs, endoscopy, tomography, scintigraphy, or magnetic resonance imaging. Esophagography with barium sulphate contrast is the most commonly used method, however, it may be inconclusive if dilation marking does not occur. This paper reports the case of a 9-year-old female dog, with a history of regurgitation over six months, simple and contrast radiographic exams showing no evidence of megaesophagus. The esophagography exam was repeated with the addition of barium contrast mixed with commercial dry pet food, which verified esophageal dilatation and confirmed megaesophagus. Although this technique is not widely used, it is an effective alternative method for diagnosis of canine megaesophagus, particularly when other radiographic approaches are inconclusive.
