  • Title: Facial pressure sore complicated by mandibular osteomyelitis.
    Author: Taylor J, Obisesan O.
    Journal: Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 1999 Oct; 28(5):385-6. PubMed ID: 10535544.
    Abstract:
    A case is reported of an 85-year-old woman with mandibular osteomyelitis secondary to a submental pressure sore. The main aetiological factors in the development of the pressure sore were dementia and severe senile kyphosis. Pressure sores are rare in the head and neck region and, though osteomyelitis is a common complication at other anatomical sites, it has not been previously reported in the mandible.
