  • Title: Rare complications of a dental abscess.
    Author: Rallis G, Papadakis D, Koumoura F, Gakidis I, Mihos P.
    Journal: Gen Dent; 2006; 54(1):44-5. PubMed ID: 16494121.
    Abstract:
    This article describes a case involving a poorly treated odontogenic infection, which was complicated by mediastinitis, thoracic empyema, pericarditis, and ascites. A posterolateral thoracotomy was necessary as incisional surgical drainage proved to be inadequate. A multidisciplinary approach of descending necrotizing mediastinitis and its complications is essential.
