Case Reports

Oral hemorrhage associated with periodontal surgery and hypertensive crisis



JF Knapp and T Fiori

A case of accelerated hypertension associated with severe oral hemorrhage is described. The evidence in this case suggests that a hypertensive crisis may have been caused by a failure to take medication as prescribed, or may have occurred as a sequel to severe postoperative hemorrhage. The reopening of the surgical site was probably caused by masticatory trauma, and the hemorrhage exacerbated by localized fibrinolytic activity.
