    AbstractLudwig's angina developed in an adult Chinese male following a mandibular third molar extraction. Brawny and tender swellings of the floor of the mouth and neck, with the elevation of the tongue, were classically present. The management of this case was based on the current emphasis of early broad-spectrum and antibiotic therapy with the maintenance of an adequate airway. The role of dental infection in this condition was highlighted.
