Angina de Ludwig associada à presença de corpo estranho em região sublingual
2004
Although uncommon, Ludwig's angina remains a potentially life- threatening condition because of the risk ofimpending airway obs-truction. The treatment is based on early recognition of clinical process, with appropriate use of parenteral antibiotics, airway pro-tection techniques, and surgical drainage of the infection. This re- port illustrates a case ofLudwig's angina caused by surgical extrac- tion of a third inferior molar and associated to the presence of a
foreign body in the floor of the mouth.
