We report the sudden development of an inflammatory process thought to be of the floor of the mouth with subsequent involvement of the respiratory airway. MR imaging showed an enhancing posterior lingual lesion, consistent with an abscess. Immediate surgical drainage relieved the symptoms. MR imaging allowed accurate diagnosis, which was essential for surgical planning in a condition that was otherwise difficult to diagnose.
我们报告了一例炎症过程突然发生,最初认为是口腔底部炎症,随后累及呼吸道。磁共振成像(MR)显示舌后部有一强化病变,符合脓肿表现。立即进行手术引流后症状缓解。MR成像有助于准确诊断,这对于这种难以诊断的疾病的手术规划至关重要。
