  • Title: Abscesses of the frontal lobe of the brain secondary to covert dental sepsis.
    Author: Ingham HR, Kalbag RM, Tharagonnet D, High AS, Sengupta RP, Selkon JB.
    Journal: Lancet; 1978 Sep 02; 2(8088):497-9. PubMed ID: 79867.
    Abstract:
    The bacterial species found in pus aspirated from brain abscesses in two patients were typical of those found in dental sepsis. Subsequently apical-root abscesses were demonstrated in the upper jaws of both patients. This evidence strongly suggests that these cerebral abscesses were secondary to dental sepsis which could have spread from the teeth to the frontal lobes by several possible antaomical pathways.
