Abstract:
The mandible is the most commonly fractured bone in the maxillofacial region following trauma. Severe infections are rare, and so we highlight an unusual presentation of Ludwig's angina following a late presentation of a mandibular fracture in a 68-year-old gentleman with significant medical co-morbidities. The recovery process was prolonged and involved multi-disciplinary input. This case makes a recommendation for early recognition of mandibular fractures, antibiotic therapy where appropriate, and hypervigilance when caring for patients with systemic illnesses.
