Abstract EN

At 33 weeks of gestation, a 24-year-old developed Ludwig's angina that worsened despite aggressive therapy.

This is the first reported case of Ludwig's Angina in pregnancy that required an emergent cesarean section for fetal indications.

Delivery may have contributed to improvement in the mother's health status.
