Following the oral administration of a magnet to a cow, a perforation of the pharyngeal mucosa occurred. The magnet underwent encapsulation in the vicinity of the stylohyoid bone. The subsequent osteitis gradually extended to the temporal bone, where another abscess developed. The cardiac signs resulting from the irritation of the vagus nerve by the first abscess and the nervous signs associated with the intracranial pressure due to the second abscess are described.
