network of connective tissue with a round-celled exudation and a few tubercles with giant cells. A few blood-vessels were present in the outer part of the wall. Judging from the thickness and density of the abscess wall it must have been present for a considerable time, probably starting about the onset of the otorrhcea. Striking features in the case were the toughness of the wall of the abscess, as even after it was removed considerable force was necessary before a needle could be made to penetrate it, and also the absence of symptoms referable to the abscess, notwithstanding that the temporo-sphenoidal lobe in which it was situated was destroyed to a very considerable extent. The clinical aspect pointed more to a meningeal infection. Glasgow.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
