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.

Ludwig's angina is a cellulitis frequently occurring as a result of infections of the second and third lower molar. Despite a decrease in mortality from 50% to less than 10% since the introduction of antibiotics, it remains a rare but life-threatening illness. The potential for rapid respiratory obstruction is the greatest concern. Familiarity with the
