Abstract EN
Ludwig’s angina was first detailed by the German surgeon Wilhelm Friedrich von Ludwig in 1836.
We present a case which needed awake fibreoptic intubation due to severe trismus and a prolonged period intubated in the Intensive Care Unit after incision and drainage of neck spaces and removal of his lower wisdom teeth.
He was finally discharged a week after admission and followed up in the outpatient clinic.
The case is presented with clinical photographs and a video of the fibreoptic intubation to illustrate the airway.
