@entity281 as a cause of @entity7181 is rare compared with other forms of intracranial suppurations. A 10-year-old @entity1 was seen because of @entity10 and @entity221 . There was no history of @entity2346 media or @entity1244 , but he had sought care for dental complaints. The @entity1 was from an upper-middle-class family, was not immunocompromised, and had no other risk factor for a major @entity281 . A CT brain scan confirmed a frontal @entity7181 . The @entity1 underwent emergency surgery for evacuation of the @entity7181 , followed by antimicrobial therapy. His condition improved remarkably following surgery, with complete resolution of symptoms. He subsequently underwent extraction of 2 teeth following dental review. @entity281 as a cause of @entity7181 is rare, but should be considered when evaluating @entity1 for @entity281 . A review of the literature sheds light on the causal relationship and possible pathogenesis of this condition.

XXXX of odontogenic origin.
