Abstract
Ludwig's angina is a potentially life-threatening, rapidly expanding, diffuse inflammation of the submandibular and sublingual spaces that occurs most often in young adults & children with odontogenic infections in whom it can cause serious airway compromise. Symptoms include severe neck pain and swelling, fever, malaise, dysphagia & stridor. Causative bacteria include many gram-negative and anaerobic organisms, streptococci and staphylococci. Initial treatment consists of high doses of penicillin G given intravenously, sometimes in combination with other drugs. Patients usually recover without complications. This review provides an overview of the anatomical and pathophysiological considerations in Ludwig’s angina and describes practical management principles to assist dentist in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
