A brain abscess that originates from an odontogenic infection, although rare, can at times be difficult to diagnose, especially in the context of pain and trismus. We report a rare case of odontogenic infection as a result of an infected maxillary third molar, causing an infratemporal and temporalis collection, resulting in a brain abscess with concurrent cerebritis. This is a clinical case review documenting an uncommon but potentially fatal complication.
源自牙源性感染的脑脓肿虽然罕见，但有时难以诊断，尤其是在伴有疼痛和牙关紧闭的情况下。我们报告了一例罕见病例，上颌第三磨牙感染导致牙源性感染，引起颞下间隙和颞肌间隙积脓，进而导致脑脓肿并伴有脑炎。这是一篇临床病例报告，记录了一种罕见但可能致命的并发症。
