Subphrenic and mediastinal abscess formation: a complication of Ludwig's angina.

G A Bounds.   

Abstract

A fatal case of cervical cellulitis is described in which mediastinal and subphrenic abscesses formed. Subphrenic abscess formation is a previously unrecorded complication of oro-pharyngeal infection. The anatomical pathways involved in the spread of infection from the neck to the abdomen and the difficulties in obtaining an airway in such a case are discussed.
