title: [Ludwig's angina, its evolution and treatment].
abstract: An anaerobic neck infection located in the submandibular layer is described in this paper. We report a case of satisfactory evolution and make a bibliographic review of this problem. All the AA. agree that the key to successful management of such infections is early diagnosis, prompt surgery and associated antibiotic therapy.
