Özet
Ludwig's angina is potentially life-threating, rapidly spreading involving bilaterally submandibular, sublingual and sub mental spaces. It is characterized by induration of mouth, swelling, elevation of tongue and airway obstruction. There is three main points with early diagnosis which are airway management, intravenous antibiotic therapy and surgical intervention. We present a case of Ludwig's angina in a 14-year-old boy. The etiology, management and potential complications of Ludwig's angina are discussed.
