[Intoxication of the central nervous system in maxillofacial phlegmons--diagnosis and treatment].
Effects of a purulent focus in the maxillofacial area on the central nervous system (CNS) were studied and approaches to improving surgical treatment were analyzed with consideration for the level of intracranial intoxication, which was evaluated by the paramecium test. The toxicity of venous plasma flowing from the cranial cavity in patients with maxillofacial phlegmons was much higher than the toxicity of the peripheral plasma. The severity of intracranial intoxication depends on the phlegmon location, while the severity of clinical status depends on the toxicity of venous plasma flowing from the cranial cavity. Surgical strategy developed in our study promotes a rapid decrease of intracranial intoxication.
