AbstractTongue abscess is a rare and sometimes life-threatening condition, as swelling of the tongue may rapidly occlude the airways. In a patient described by us swelling of the tongue was found in MR imaging to be caused by an abscess of the anterior part of the tongue, extending to the floor of the mouth, beside the submandibular gland. It was only after recanalization of the compartmentalized abscess of the tongue and removal of the salivary gland that the patient recovered.
