Dental Apseye Sekonder Maksiller Osteomiyelit Gelişen Bir Pediatrik Olgu

Odontojenik apseler genelde diş çürükleri ve periodontal enfeksiyonlara sekonder gelişen lokal ve sistemik etkileri olabilen enfeksiyonlardır. Çocukluk yaş grubunda sıkça görülen ve oldukça önemli olan odontojenik apselerin komplikasyonları, hematojen yayılım, ağız ve yüz boşluklarının enfeksiyonu veya çene kemiklerinin osteomiyeliti şeklinde olabilir. Bu yazıda, dental apsenin önemini vurgulamak ve dental apse komplikasyonlarına dikkat çekmek amacıyla başvuru anındaki bulgularıyla malignite düşünülen, ancak daha sonra periodontal apseye sekonder osteomiyelit tanısı konulan 5.5 yaşında bir erkek olgu sunuldu.

Maxillary Osteomyelitis Secondary to Dental Abscess in a Pediatric Patient

Odontogenic abscesses are infections that usually develop secondary to dental caries and periodontal infections, and may have local and systemic effects. Complications of odontogenic abscess, which are commonly seen in the childhood period, are very important and may occur as hematogenous spread, infections of the oral and facial cavity, or osteomyelitis of the jaw bones. We report a 5.5-year-old male patient who presented with findings suggesting a malignancy on admission to emphasize the importance of dental abscesses and to draw attention to complications.
