Odontogenic infections rarely spread beyond the periapical space. Occasionally spread of infection into contiguous anatomic areas occurs through bone, fascial or muscular barriers. Two cases of orofacial abscess of odontogenic origin in the pediatric patient are presented, one imaged with CT and the other with MRI. Both abscesses involved the deep and superficial tissues of the face. Additionally, one of the abscesses extended into the orbit and the other involved the preseptal soft tissue. The pathogenesis, mechanism of spread and management of the disease are discussed.
牙源性感染很少扩散至根尖周间隙以外。偶尔，感染会通过骨、筋膜或肌肉屏障扩散至相邻的解剖区域。本文介绍了两例儿科患者牙源性口面部脓肿病例，一例采用CT成像，另一例采用MRI成像。两例脓肿均累及面部深层和浅层组织。此外，其中一例脓肿蔓延至眼眶，另一例累及眶隔前软组织。本文还讨论了该疾病的发病机制、扩散机制及治疗方法。
