Abstract
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.Entities:
