DEEP NECK INFECTION AFTER THIRD MOLAR EXTRACTION

Seda Yılmaz, Burcu Baş, Bora Özden, Ümit Selçuk, Senem Çengel Kurnaz

Odontogenic and oropharyngeal infections are relatively common in the cervicofacial region. In rare cases, odontogenic or peritonsillar abscesses may spread through the deep fascial cervical spaces and cause life-threatening complications. Odontogenic infection is the most common cause of deep neck infections and it accounts for 43% of the cases. Early diagnosis, immediate antibiotic treatment, and surgical drainage are the basis of therapeutic success. Deep neck infections are potentially life threatening complications if they are not diagnosed in time and treated quickly. This case report presents clinical, radiological features and treatment of the spread of abscesses through cervical spaces of an unusual case of deep neck infection that was caused by the secondary infection of the root remnants after extraction.

Keywords: Deep neck infection, odontogenic infection, third molar extraction

Üçüncü Molar Çekiminden Sonra Oluşan Derin Boyun Enfeksiyonu

Seda Yılmaz, Burcu Baş, Bora Özden, Ümit Selçuk, Senem Çengel Kurnaz

Odontojenik ve orofaringeal enfeksiyonlar baş boyun bölgesinde oldukça yaygındır. Nadiren odontojenik ve peritonsiller abseler derin fasyal servikal boşluklar yoluyla yayılabilir ve hayatı tehdit eden komplikasyonlara sebep olabilir. Odontojenik enfeksiyonlar derin boyun enfeksiyonlarının en sık karşılaşılan nedenidir ve olguların %43’ünü oluşturmaktadır. Erken teşhis, acil antibiyotik tedavisi ve cerrahi drenaj terapötik başarının temelini oluşturmaktadır. Erken teşhis edilmediği ve hızlı bir şekilde tedavi uygulanmadığı takdirde derin boyun enfeksiyonları potansiyel olarak hayatı tehdit eder. Bu olgu bildirisinde, diş çekimi sonrasında kalan kök parçasından kaynaklanan sekonder enfeksiyonun sebep olduğu derin boyun enfeksiyonu vakasının klinik, radyolojik özellikleri ve tedavisi sunulmuştur.

Keywords: Derin boyun enfeksiyonu, odontojenik enfeksiyon, üçüncü molar çekimi
