摘要

Ludwig's angina is a life-threatening infection that affects the soft tissues in the floor of mouth and neck. It is unusual to see Ludwig's angina in children. Dental infection is the most common etiology. However, it can be associated with very rare causes. A 9-year-old child was diagnosed with Ludwig's angina just a few hours after undergoing a frenuloplasty. The initial management includes maintaining the child's airway, providing broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics, and performing surgical drainage if necessary. In this particular case, after 48 h of treatment, an improvement has been noticed, and the child was discharged.
