Abstract / Excerpt:
A woman aged 57 consulted her dentist because of intermittent pain in her right upper jaw associated with blurring of vision in her right eye. Both symptoms occurred towards evening and were relieved by sleep. There was no history of haloes, ocular pain or redness of the eye. The pain was unrelated to chewing. The dentist extracted two teeth first an impacted right upper third molar (wisdom tooth); then, when the pain persisted, the right upper second molar, which had previously been treated forcaries.
