Abstract
Oral disorders can develop deep neck infection independently of the presence of diabetes mellitus, compared with other causes. The presence of diabetes mellitus is associated with deep neck infection, aggravating parotitis and wide spread of inflammation. Retrotonsillar abscess often spreads to the retropharyngeal and parapharyngeal spaces, causing mediastinitis, so caution is necessary. Infection due to SMG tends to form abscess independently of diabetes mellitus. Since more than half of the wide range type and more than a quarter of each of the localized types except the upper deep cervical type were associated with laryngeal edema, airway management should be considered.
