INFRATEMPORAL FOSSA INFECTION WITH INFERIOR ALVEOLAR NERVE INVOLVEMENT

Yusuf Emes, Serhat Yalçın, Buket Aybar, Itır Şebnem Bilici

Abscess of the infratemporal fossa is a rare complication which can be difficult to diagnose. It occurs mostly due to dental infection, tooth extraction, fractures and/or infections involving the maxillary sinus. This condition can be life threatening if not dealt with immediately. The maxillofacial surgeon must be aware of the symptoms and clinical findings of the infection of the infratemporal fossa in order to initiate the treatment as soon as possible. In this case report, a patient with an infratemporal fossa infection presenting with an unusual symptom of inferior alveolar nerve involvement is presented.

Keywords: Infratemporal abscess, facial space infection, abscess, infratemporal space infection

İnferior Alveolar Sinir Tutulumlu İnfratemporal Abse Enfeksiyonu

Yusuf Emes, Serhat Yalçın, Buket Aybar, Itır Şebnem Bilici

Nadir görülen bir komplikasyon olan infratemporal fossa absesi tanı koyulması zor bir durumdur. Çoğunlukla diş kaynaklı enfeksiyonlara, diş çekimine, maksiller sinüsü ilgilendiren kırıklara ve enfeksiyonlara bağlı olarak ortaya çıkar. Acil olarak müdahale edilmez ise yaşamı tehdit eden bir klinik tablo oluşabilir. Tedaviye erken başlanabilmesi için maksillofasiyal cerrahların infratemporal fossa enfeksiyonlarının belirtileri ve klinik bulguları hakkında yeterli bilgiye sahip olmaları gereklidir. Bu makalede bir hastada inferior alveolar sinir tutulumu gibi sıradışı bir bulgu ile ortaya çıkan infratemporal fossa enfeksiyonunun sunulması amaçlanmıştır.

Keywords: Infratemporal abse, fasiyal loca enfeksiyonu, abse, infratemporal loca enfeksiyonu
