Radiologic Imaging of Ludwig Angina in a Pediatric Patient

Ludwig angina is an important disease with deadly consequences. Especially in the pediatric patient group, recognition of the disease may be difficult due to patient incompatibility. For this reason, radiologic imaging methods should be carefully selected. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and contrast-enhanced examinations are the most important methods for the diagnosis of the disease.
