Diplopia is uncommon after intraoral local anesthesia for dental procedures.1–7⇓⇓⇓⇓⇓⇓ A healthy 29-year-old man was examined at a hospital-based dental clinic several days after sustaining mild facial trauma during a snow skiing accident. He had dental pain and thermal sensitivity, which related to fractured cusps of the bottom right second premolar tooth (no. 29). Because of the severity of the cusp fracture, the treatment plan was to remove this tooth. The patient’s medical history was…

BLINDNESS! A TERRIBLE AFTERMATH OF DENTAL TREATMENT
TLDR
Local anesthetics are the most commonly used drugs in dentistry but extension of dental infections from maxillary teeth and other nearby structures to orbital spaces and tissues surrounding the eye present a rare but serious problem.
Intraoral Local Anesthesia and Ocular Complications
TLDR
This review aims to help the dental surgeons to understand about the causes, mechanisms and symptoms of ocular complications to enable them to diagnose, manage and prevent those complications.
Ophthalmic Complications of Locoregional Anesthesia in Dentistry
TLDR
The aim of this paper is to emphasize the ophthalmic complications that may occur after intraoral anesthesia injection in dentistry and to be aware of their causes in order to prevent them.

Ophthalmologic complications after intraoral local anesthesia An analysis of 65 published case reports
TLDR
The increased number of ophthalmologic complications after intraoral local anesthesia in females may suggest a gender effect, and double vision (diplopia) is the most frequently described complication, which is usually completely reversible like the other reported ophthalMologic complications.

MR imaging features in Marinesco-Sjögren syndrome: severe cerebellar atrophy is not an obligatory finding.
TLDR
Cerebellar atrophy is not an obligatory finding in Marinesco-Sjögren syndrome, and almost normal cranial MR imaging results are compatible with the diagnosis.

TLDR
Clinical and MRI features of a girl and two boys, aged 9, 17 and 19 years, respectively, with Marinesco‐Sjögren syndrome showed a very small cerebellar vermis in all three patients, various supratentorial abnormalities, an apparcntly small anterior pituitary gland in two and the absence of a posterior pituitarian gland in allThree.

Myopathy with unique ultrastructural feature in marchinesco‐sjögren syndrome
TLDR
Three children aged 6, 3, and 2 years, from 2 families, with the clinical features of Marchinesco‐Sjögren syndrome have been investigated, and electron microscopy revealed vacuolation and membranous whorls and, in particular, a unique dense membrane structure associated with nuclei.
