Abstract
Space infection in the Oral and Maxillofacial region is common from odontogenic origin. Ludwig’s angina which is relatively uncommon in the pediatric population remains a potentially life- threatening condition due to the risk of impending airway obstruction. Thus, because of its invasive nature, early identification and management of Ludwig’s angina is extremely important. Late stages of the disease should be addressed immediately and given special importance towards the maintenance of airway followed by surgical decompression under antibiotic coverage. The appropriate use of parenteral antibiotics, airway protection techniques, and surgical drainage of the infection remains the standard protocol of treatment in advanced cases of Ludwig's angina. Here we present a case report on a child who was diagnosed with Ludwig’s angina.
