“…8 The most common cause of cervical necrotizing fasciitis is odontale or pharyngeal and other causes are seldomly reported in the literature. 9 In one case, periorbital scratching lesions evolved into necrotizing fasciitis. 9 The presence of a severe cervical infection secondary to a trauma is an exception because the majority of patients who suffer from traumas of the cephalic extremity are treated by specialized emergency services, which leads to the prevention of severe posttraumatic suppurations.…”

Traumas are a major problem worldwide. A considerable proportion of traumas are located in the cephalic extremity. Neglect of these disorders by patients or those responsible for patient management may result in particularly serious consequences. This paper presents the case of a 58-year-old male patient with an intraorally open mandibular fracture, which left untreated for 3 days, was complicated by Ludwig’s angina. Following aggressive surgical treatment during which the mandibular fracture was manually reduced and immobilized with a metal splint fixed with circumdental wires and effective antibiotic therapy, the septic process was terminated and the patient’s fracture and infected wound were healed. The correct and rapid treatment of open mandibular fractures is mandatory in order to avoid severe septic complications.
