Cervical cellulitis and mediastinitis caused by odontogenic infections

Descending necrotizing mediastinitis in early childhood: Favorable outcome after aggressive treatment

“…DNM originates from oropharyngeal infections, such as odontogenic infection, retropharyngeal and peritonsillar abscesses, and amygdalitis (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)11). This explains its rare frequency in patients younger than 2 yrs, with only two cases reported in English-language literature in the last 30 yrs (6,7).…”

“…Its rare frequency makes comparison of different therapeutic strategies difficult. Nonetheless, some meta-analyses have been performed (2,5,6), concluding that early and aggressive surgical approach could improve the prognosis, in comparison with a restrictive surgical approach (transcervical drainage) or a conservative treatment, with statistically significant differences (6). Although several techniques have been recommended for the transthoracic drainage or mediastinal surgical washing (subxiphoid approach, "clamshell," median sternotomy, thoracoscopy), posterolateral thoracotomy is the standard technique recommended today (4,6,8,11,13).…”

“…The CT scan is therefore preferred to conventional radiograph, echography, and magnetic resonance imaging (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)11).…”

Indicadores clínicos e laboratoriais como determinantes de um padrão na evolução das infecções orais graves - Estudo retrospectivo de 3 anos

“…As principais características clínicas das infecções odontogênicas são as clássicas já apresentadas na literatura, como dor, rubor, calor e o edema (Jundt & Gutta, 2012;Yang et al, 2015;Zeitoun & Dhanarajani, 1995). Dor, prostração, trismo, febre, disfagia, odinofagia (dor ao engolir alimentos ou até mesmo a saliva) e dispneia foram os sinais e sintomas mais apresentados na nossa amostra, o que está semelhante aos trabalhos relatados na literatura como os principais critérios para a hospitalização de pacientes com infecção odontogênica grave (Alotaibi et al, 2015;Tan et al, 2021;Zheng et al, 2013).…”

Evaluation of oral health among people with multimorbidity in the marginalized population of Karachi, Pakistan: A multicenter cross-sectional study

“…However, head and neck cancer, infection, or untreated dental caries are associated with Trismus. 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 In comparison, anemia may be due to the poor nutritional status among people with xerostomia due to temporary or chronic hyposalivation. This condition is due to nutritional deficiencies, and various diseases are sometimes accompanied by a reduced salivary flow rate or due to Sjögren's syndrome (an autoimmune disease condition).…”
