LUDWIG'S angina is a life-threatening infection of the sublingual and submandibular spaces, first described by Von Ludwig in 1836. Before the widespread use of antibiotics, the disease seems to have occurred relatively frequently, as evidenced by several large series. 1,2 In recent years, scattered case reports make up most of the available information,

AbstractDespite a reduction in preantibiotic mortality rates that exceeded 50%, Ludwig's angina remains a potentially lethal entity primarily because of rapidly progressive airway obstruction. Since the reports of several large series in the 1940's, there have been but sporadic case reports because of widespread use of antibiotics in orodental ...

Ludwig's angina is an infectious process involving the submental, sublingual, and submandibular spaces that can rapidly progress to hemodynamic instability and airway loss. Treatment involves antibiotics, incision, drainage and the placement of extraoral drains. This is the first reported recent case of Ludwig's angina in a pregnant patient.
