Abstract:

Palatal lesions and associated palatal pain are a common occurrence, whereas spontaneous aneurysm of a cerebral artery is rare. We report a case involving a spontaneous aneurysm of the middle cerebral artery that manifested initially as palatal pain. It is important for dental practitioners to be familiar with unusual causes of palatal pain. Those cases that cause palatal pain must be evaluated appropriately to avoid potentially serious complications.
