Ludwig's angina: a case report and review.
Journal of the Dental Association of South Africa 1990 September
A case of Ludwig's angina which developed after mandibular fractures in a 14-year-old male patient is reported. We emphasise the serious nature of this condition and the aggressive treatment it requires. It is important to recognise cases of Ludwig's angina at an early stage, as well as cases which are at risk of developing into true Ludwig's angina if treatment is delayed. Management should be aimed at maintaining an open airway by nasotracheal intubation or cricothyroidotomy, together with treatment of the infection by removal of the source, drainage of pus and parenteral antibiotic therapy. In addition, investigation and management of contributing medical conditions and timely specialist consultation are essential.
