Ludwig's angina is a rapidly spreading soft-tissue infection and commonly occurs following odontogenic infection. A 30-year-old male presented to the emergency department, 7 days after the extraction of molar teeth with a sudden onset of mandibular swelling. He was diagnosed with Ludwig's angina with empyema thoracis and external carotid artery (ECA) pseudoaneurysm. He was successfully managed with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery-guided drainage and endovascular embolization of ECA pseudoaneurysm. We share our experience of challenges faced during the management of unusual presentation of complicated Ludwig's angina.
