“…We cannot say why a posterior communicating artery aneurysm should affect only the maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve whilst sparing the upper and lower divisions. In an earlier reported case of facial neuralgia with aneurysm of the posterior communicating artery the maxillary division was the only division of this nerve involved, although there were other cranial nerve palsies 2 . Why should clipping of the aneurysm put an end to the pain?…”

“…When human beings become infected, cats are the source in 60±80%, dogs in most of the remainder. Local infections are characterized by the rapid onset of warmth and erythema 2,3 ; serious local complications include septic arthritis and osteomyelitis, commonly in the hand.

Pasteurella multocida meningitis is a rare clinical occurrence. We report a new case and review the 28 other cases described in the English literature. A history of recent animal contact remains strongly associated with P. multocida meningitis (noted in 89% of all cases), with licking of mucus surfaces or injured skin being most common. Bacteremia was present in 63% of all patients. Spread from an adjacent site of infection continues to be an important factor, with otitis media being documented or strongly suspected in 24% of all cases. The presenting signs and symptoms were characteristic of bacterial meningitis, with fever, headache, nucal rigidity and an altered level of consciousness being present in most patients. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis was typical for bacterial meningitis. Penicillin G or ampicillin was the most common definitive treatment; however, third-generation cephalosporins have been successful. The mean duration of treatment was 14 d. Neurologic complications were present in 17% of patients overall and mortality remains substantial at 25%. Although not statistically significant, there is a trend toward decreased neurologic complications and mortality during the last 11 y.
