Abstract
The purpose of the present investigation was to determine the effect on the oral cavity
of chronic visceral stimulation of the brain stem. Experiments were performed on seventeen
dogs in which the stimulus was applied to two different procedures. Seven animals
received traumatic irritation by means of a blunt probe. Ten animals were stimulated
with glass beads located in the sella turcica which produced a mild continuous stimulation
on the tuber cinereum, infundibulum, and mammillary bodies. Six animals served as
controls and were operated upon in the same manner as the experimental animals but
received no cerebral stimulation. All animals in the first group died by the eleventh
postoperative day, showing severe hemorrhage of the gastric and intestinal mucosa
and superficial erosion of the intestinal tract. No oral lesions were encountered.
Six animals of the second group showed changes in the oral cavity. These changes were
bleeding, ulcerous stomatitis, and periodontal disturbances. This latter group also
exhibited gastric bleeding, focal lesions, and ulcers in the duodenum and jejunum.
Control animals kept in the same environment showed no changes in either the oral
cavity or the intestinal tract.
