“…Moreover, inflammation may spread from this space to the parapharyngeal space, potentially causing rapid and critical airway obstruction. 26 Significant reactive facial swelling is often present in patients affected by SOIs; trismus, dysphagia, and dyspnea are other common presenting signs and symptoms that should be considered highly suggestive of this condition (Fig. 2).…”

“…Les cellulites ayant pour origine la 1 ère ou la 2 ème molaire mandibulaire avaient 2,5 fois plus de chance d'être vestibulaires que celles ayant pour origine la 3 ème molaire (P = 0,008 ; OR = 2,5). En effet, le site de fenestration osseuse dépend de l'épaisseur de l'os alvéolaire [10,11,17] molaires [9,14]. Les résultats obtenus avec cette série ne concordent pas avec les conclusions d'une étude selon laquelle la fenestration dans les cellulites ayant pour origine la 2 ème et la 3 ème molaires serait plutôt linguale en raison de la proximité des apex de ces dents avec la table osseuse interne [18].…”

ème molaire (P = 0,008 ; OR = 2,5). Les dents causales des cellulites sous-mylohyoïdiennes étaient les 2 èmes et les 3 èmes molaires mandibulaires. Ces résultats concordent avec les données de la littérature. Cependant, chaque forme topographique doit être en nombre statistiquement significatif pour étudier au mieux les relations avec les dents causales. Abstract -Perimaxillary cellulitis: etiology and anatomo-clinical relations.We retrospectively studied maxillofacial space infections presenting to oral and maxillofacial surgery unit (Aristide Le Dantec teaching hospital) over a 47-month period. Odontogenic causes, dental sources of infection and anatomic maxillofacial spaces associated were evaluated and compared with other recent statistics. 349 patients were admitted. The origin of maxillofacial space infections was predominantly odontogenic (92.7%). The most common cause of odontogenic infections was decay (79.9%). At the maxillary, 1st and 2nd molars were the main source of buccal maxillary space infections (34%). At the mandible, 1st and 3rd molars were respectively the predominant source of buccal mandibular (41.2%) and submandibular (44.8%) space infections. Buccal mandibular space infections were related to 1st and 2nd molars (P = 0.008 ; OR = 2.5). Only 2nd and 3rd molars were the dental sources of submandibular space infections.  Etiologic aspects in this series were in agreement with the medical literature. Maxillofacial spaces infections seem related to dental sources of infection.

“…Chi et al [22] showed that compared to the adult (aged between 18 and 65) group with deep neck infection, the elderly (older than 65 years of age) group had higher ratio with multiple spaces involved (53.1% vs. 30.2%). Ariji et al [10] showed that the odontogenic infection pathway through the mylohyoid muscle or sublingual space was observed most frequently in patients with submandibular space involvement.…”

“…[8,9] Computed tomography (CT) can very contribute to evaluation on the spread of odontogenic infections. [10][11][12] In recent years, multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) has become a standard imaging modality of maxillofacial lesions because of the exquisite sensitivity of this imaging technique. [13,14] Furthermore, MDCT enable realization of the region and spread of abscesses to masticator space derived from severe odontogenic infection.…”

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.
