| description | Deep neck space infections are of great risk for patients considering even death in certain cases. Collection of purulent secretions that can accumulate in a particular region of the neck is due to the anatomy of the deep neck fascia, muscles of the neck and compartments for blood vessels and organs in the neck region. Deep neck spaces communicate with each other and in some patients with morbidities like diabetes or other form of immuno-suppression extension can be great. Ludwig's angina is a form of abscess of the floor of the mouth with origin in teeth located on the mandible. Like any other abscess medical and surgical therapy are ways of treatment, but incision and drainage are mandatory. However, surgical management of such a complication might include other type of surgery as tracheostomy, blood vessels ligation, resection of necrotic tissue or even reconstruction. |
