[Abnormal courses of acute pyogenic soft-part infections in the maxillofacial and cervical regions (author's transl)].
The etiology and therapy of abnormal causes of pyogenic soft-part infections in the maxillofacial and cervical regions are discussed by reference to five case reports. Such clinical pictures usually result from a misinterpretation by the initially attending physician and consequent errors in treatment, from the indolence of patients, and from complicating conditions which are due especially to the particular disease agents involved, with one factor generally affecting the other. Today, even most serious disease pictures can be seen ruled to surgical and antibiotic treatment. In cases of doubt, tracheotomy should be performed before surgical cuts into abscesses are made especially where extensive suppuration involves the floor of the mouth, the parapharyngeal space, and the cervicovascular space.
