To present a case of acute temporal and infratemporal dumbbell abscess following tooth extraction and discuss the possible anatomic pathways of spread of odontogenic infections. This is a case of right maxillary tooth extraction following which he developed local infection that spread to the temporal and sub temporal space. The history and examination revealed the infection spreading to the buccal and sub temporal space with trismus and feeding problems. Intraoral and external drainage along with antibiotics led to the resolution of the abscess. Of the many complications of tooth extraction infection spreading along the temporalis with formation of a dumbbell abscess can lead to severe discomfort and septicemia if not detected and treated early. A case with successful management and result are discussed.

<p><strong><em>Background: </em></strong><em>An anterior tooth extraction can cause aesthetic and psychological problems. An Immediate Removable Partial Denture could be the choice of aesthetic rehabilitation because is inserted immediately following the natural tooh extraction. <strong>Purpose: </strong>This paper reported the case of Immediate Removable Partial Denture for aesthetic anterior maxillary tooth rehabilitation in a 41-years old woman teacher. <strong>Case Report: </strong>A 41-years-old woman teacher wasn’t confident with her #22 tooth microdontia and malpositioned. In order to rehabilitated her aesthetic problem could be done by immediate #22 tooth extraction. <strong>Case Management: </strong>Removable Partial Denture preparation was done by removing the #22 tooth. The denture was inserted immediately after the extraction. After the denture was inserted, at the 24-hours, 3 days, 1 week, and 1 month should be evaluated to know the bone resorption process and whether the Immediate Removable Partial Denture should be relined or not. <strong>Conclusion(s): </strong>The Immediate Removable Partial Denture provides an aesthetic rehabilitation and increases the patient’s self-confidence because the patient has no edentulous period.</em></p>

Head and neck space infections are usually secondary to odontogenic infections due to translocation of oral microbes to fascial space via odontogenic route resulting in progression by enzymatic degradation of connective tissue. Various factors like microbiological, host, nutritional and socioeconomic factors are responsible for progression of fascial space infection that might take fatal course if not treated in time. The present case report describes a child with fascial space infection of oral and maxillofacial region who was treated by incision and drainage in department of oral and maxillofacial surgery of this hospital. Fascial space infections are one of the surgical emergencies and need to be addressed in early stage as it has rapid regional and systemic progression leading to fatal outcome. It is multifactorial and all need to be addressed. Incision and drainage with removal of cause with antimicrobial therapy is treatment modality of space infection. Inadequate drainage might lead to recurrence of infection and progression to distant secondary spaces.

Introduction Pericallosal artery (PA) aneurysms represent 2 to 9% of all intracranial aneurysms, and their management remains difficult. Objective The aim of the present study is to describe the case of an adult woman with subarachnoid hemorrhage and bilateral PA aneurysm in mirror position. Case Report A 46-year-old woman was referred to our institution 20 days after a sudden severe headache. She informed that she was treating her arterial hypertension irregularly, and consumed ∼ 20 cigarettes/day. The patient was neurologically intact at admission. A non-contrast computed tomography (CT) on the first day of the onset of the symptoms revealed hydrocephaly and subarachnoid hemorrhage (Fisher III). An angio-CT/digital subtraction arteriography showed bilateral PA aneurysms in mirror position. The patient was successfully treated with surgery via the right interhemispheric approach (because the surgeon is right-handed); the surgeon performed the proximal control with temporary clipping, and introduced an external ventricular drain at the end of the surgery. The patient was discharged on the fourth postoperative day without any additional neurological deficits or ventricular shunts. Conclusion Ruptured PA aneurysm is a surgically challenging aneurysm due to the many anatomical nuances and risk of rebleeding. However, the operative management of ruptured bilateral PA aneurysms is feasible and effective.
