 | | Ludwig’s Angina is a bacterial infection of the floor of the mouth which involves an inflammation of the tissues located under the tongue and which usually occurs as the result of a tooth abscess, or an injury of the mouth. |
 | | By recording all the data of the patient we reported that she underwent a piercing of the tongue’s frenum two weeks before. |
