چکیده انگلیسی

IntroductionCervicofacial cellulitis (CFC) is a severe infection of the subcutaneous cellular tissue, and is one of the most serious head and neck infectious emergencies. In a series of 70 cases treated between 2007 and 2012, we noticed a strong correlation between use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and evolution of head and neck infections toward CFC, including two cases of necrotic CFC extending to the mediastinum, which were fatal.Material and methodsThe cases included in the series comprised patients admitted to emergency and requiring hospitalization due to the severity of presenting symptoms. There were 70 such cases of CFC between 2007 and 2012; cases managed on an outpatient basis were excluded, as were cases of orbital CFC, CFC of sinus origin and mastoiditis.ResultsEighty percent of patients took NSAIDs, on self-medication or by prescription (community physician, dentist, pharmacist). The most frequent molecules were tiaprofenic acid and diclofenac. CFC extension was restricted in most cases to the maxillary and/or ipsilateral subhyoid region, with 5 cases of lower cervical extension and 2 of mediastinal involvement, which both proved fatal.ConclusionCFC is a severe infection that can be life-threatening, and represents a diagnostic and therapeutic emergency. Among other risk factors, use of NSAIDs is frequently reported; these should therefore be used with caution if at all in head and neck infection, especially of odonto-stomatological origin.
