title: Transient partial ophthalmoplegia and Horner's syndrome after intraoral local anesthesia.
abstract: Local neurological symptoms and signs are infrequent after intraoral anesthesia for dental procedures, thus diagnosis may be challenging for a neurologist unfamiliar with this benign phenomenon. Unnecessary diagnostic procedures may be performed and can be associated with complications. We present a 19-year old woman with transient diplopia, miosis, partial enophthalmia and lacrimation on the side of injection after intraoral anesthesia with prilocaine.
