Case Reports

Cranial arteritis mimicking odontogenic pain: report of case



SA Guttenberg, RW Emery, SA Milobsky, and M Geballa
Washington Hospital Center, DC.

A 65-year-old patient treated for pain of apparent odontogenic origin did not respond to appropriate dental treatment. While the signs and symptoms mimicked a dental problem, further diagnostic evaluation determined the "culprit"--cranial arteritis. Proper treatment immediately after diagnosis is advised as the complications of cranial arteritis can include the rapid onset of blindness.
