Case Reports[Infracondylar abscess formation: a rare complication of local anesthesia].
Ninety percent of oro-facial infections arise from a dental origin. The remaining 10% are the consequence of oro-pharyngeal, cutaneous or iatrogenic problems, such as in the present case. ⋯ Formation of an abscess very high above the lingula, around the condylar neck is rarely reported in the literature. In this patient it was certainly a complication resulting from the injection of local anesthesic with a vasoconstrictor. CT-scan should be performed to guide diagnosis in the event of an unusual course after the first surgical procedure and an adequate antibiotic regimen.
