Difficult Cases of Odontogenic Deep Neck Infections: A Report of Three Patients
Background: Deep neck infections are important
otolaryngologic emergencies due to serious
complications and the risk of airway compromise, which
can lead to mortality. Although the most common causes
among pediatric patients are tonsillitis and pharyngeal
infections, odontogenic infections are an important
cause in adults.
Case Report: We present three patients with multiple
deep neck space abscess formation due to odontogenic
infection. Two of them required tracheotomy due to
airway compromise, and one had mediastinitis.
Conclusion: An underestimated tooth infection can
cause hazardous complications such as mediastinitis and
respiratory distress requiring tracheotomy
