Les cellulites cervico-faciales à propos de 130 cas

Abstract

Le but de cette étude était d’étudier le profil épidémioclinique et paraclinique de nos patients, d’évaluer leur prise en charge thérapeutique et leur évolution. Nous avons inclus 130 patients pris en charge entre janvier 2007 et novembre 2009. Nous avons relevé de manière rétrospective les données épidémiologiques, les données cliniques, la prise en charge thérapeutique médico-chirurgicale et l’évolution. Notre série retrouve une prédominance masculine avec un âge moyen de 31 ans. L’origine dentaire est l’étiologie la plus fréquente. La tomodensitométrie avec injection de produit de contraste est l’examen clé du bilan initial. L’antibiothérapie et la chirurgie ont permis une bonne évolution dans 74% des cas. Le taux de mortalité est de 0%. Les cellulites cervico-faciales sont des pathologies potentiellement graves touchant souvent des adultes jeunes dont la mortalité hospitalière doit être réduite à la condition d’un diagnostic précoce et une prise en charge médico-chirurgicale immédiate.

Facial Cellulitis of Dental Origin: Experiments from the University of Bouaké Health Centre (Cote d’Ivoire)

“…From a nosological point of view this classification of cellulitis mainly concerns French-speakers while English-speakers use the generic term "necrotizing fasciitis" to refer to all types of cellulitis [1]. The subject of facial cellulitis of dental origin has often been treated internationally and regionally [2] [5] [6] [7]. However, very few papers deal with the aforementioned French-speaking nosological characteristics.…”

Characteristics of Streptococcus and Staphylococcus strains isolated from acute cellulitis of dental origin in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso

“…In this study, 27 women (51.9%) and 25 men (48.1%) were afflicted by cellulitis of dental origin (p˃0.05); which is similar to the result obtained by Miloundja et al (2011), who found that 30 women (56%) and 25 men (43%) in their patient sample were afflicted. In a similar study, carried out in Morocco, a higher prevalence of dental cellulitis was reported in men (57%) when compared with the women (43%) (Rouadi et al, 2013).…”

Odontogenic Cervico-Facial Cellulitis at the University Hospital of Brazzaville: About 431 Cases

“…The duration of hospitalization ranged from 2 to 30 days with an average of 12 days.The evolution was favorable with a high cure rate of 96.7%. The mortality rate was 3.3% in patients who developed severe septicemia.Cellulitis was the first reason of hospitalization in our department, with a hospital prevalence of 32.8% and an annual rate of about 45 cases, compared with results of Rouadi 43 cases[10]. In 2012, Assouan et al reported an annual incidence of 57.7 cases[11].…”
