A case of acute osteomyelitis of the superior maxilla, occurring in an infant, complicated by a cerebral abscess of the frontal lobe is reported.

REPORT OF CASE

Lawrence G., aged 5 days, was admitted to the Buffalo Children's Hospital on June 21, 1929, for the treatment of infected forceps wounds. The patient was the result of a full term, first pregnancy, and was delivered with difficulty. Examination showed a well nourished infant with two deep, infected lesions, one on each side of the face, in the region of the ear. There was a right-sided facial paralysis.

The temperature was normal throughout, except for an occasional rise to 100 F. Cultures from the wounds on the head revealed a few diphtheroids and staphylococci. The wounds healed uneventfully on treatment with wet dressings and irrigations. The patient was discharged on July 16, weighing 9 pounds (4,082.33 Gm.).
