“…Schuknecht et al [15] report that medial masticator space abscesses tend to display early extra-spatial parapharyngeal space and soft palate, because the parapharyngeal space is linked to the submandibular space inferiorly. In the present study, buccal space was the most frequent in the elderly, followed by the buccal, submandibular and masticator spaces, and buccal and masticator spaces.…”

Purpose: To analyze spread of odontogenic infections in the elderly, especially the prevalence and characteristic multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) findings. Materials and methods: Ninety-seven patients with odontogenic infection who underwent 64-row MDCT were evaluated in this study. The study patients comprised 31 elderly patients (≥ 60 years) and 66 adults (< 60 years). Age, gender, location of causal tooth, and spread of odontogenic infections with MDCT were analyzed. Results: The elderly patients (74.2%) had higher ratio with female compared to the adults (57.6%). The buccal space (93.5%) was the most common spread of odontogenic infections for the elderly patients, followed by the masticator space (54.8%) and submandibular space (45.2%), whereas the buccal space (97.0%) was the most common spread of odontogenic infections for the adults, followed by submandibular space (65.2%) and masticator space (51.5%). Logistic multivariate regression analysis for odontogenic infections in the elderly demonstrated that the gender (odds ratio = 3.462, P = .024) and submandibular space (odds ratio = 0.168, P = .013) were significant variable. Conclusions: The study showed the prevalence and characteristic MDCT findings of spread of odontogenic infections in the elderly.

“…[13,14] Furthermore, MDCT enable realization of the region and spread of abscesses to masticator space derived from severe odontogenic infection. [15][16][17] The present study analyzed spread of odontogenic infections in the elderly, especially the prevalence and characteristic MDCT findings.…”

“…Infections of this space are usually odontogenic, and these infections arising in the mandible spread first into the masseter and/or medial pterygoid muscles [4,5,9,10].The parapharyngeal space has been reported as a secondary site of spread for these infections [5].That is, infections from the pterygoid muscles sometimes spread medially to the parapharyngeal space (Figure 3). Therefore, all reports of odontogenic infections involving the parapharyngeal space have been reported to also be complicated with involvement of the medial pterygoid muscles [4,5,9]. Conversely, the present patienthad a peritonsillar abscess on the same side as the masticator abscess, and there were no CT findings of odontogenic infection intra operatively or involvement of the pterygoid muscles by infection.…”
