Lingual abscesses are rare but serious. This case highlights a unique hemilingual abscess diagnosed via MRI due to subtle symptoms, emphasizing the need for advanced imaging in rare infections.

Area of Science:

  • Medical diagnostics
  • Infectious diseases
  • Oral pathology

Background:

  • Lingual abscesses are exceptionally rare, particularly post-antibiotic era.
  • Despite rarity, lingual abscesses can be life-threatening.

Observation:

  • A case of a right hemilingual abscess is presented.
  • Diagnosis was made using MRI due to the patient's subtle symptoms.
  • The abscess uniquely affected the central part and free edge of the tongue.

Findings:

  • MRI is crucial for diagnosing lingual abscesses with poor symptomatic presentation.
  • The specific location of this hemilingual abscess is noteworthy.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering rare diagnoses like lingual abscess.
