Descending necrotizing mediastinitis a clinical entity formed by the spreading of cervical infection from the dental and oropharyngeal structures through the deep cavities between the deep fascia on the neck to the mediastinum, pleural and pericardial spaces with necrosis of soft tissue and has a high mortality. Herein we present the case of a 73-year-old admitted to emergency department with septic clinic. The patient was diagnosed with descending necrotizing mediastinitis due to odontogenic infection. Although sternal irrigation, sternal debridement and mediastinal drainage were performed patient was died postoperative third day.

Descending necrotizing mediastinitis (DNM) is a rare condition in which oropharyngeal infection spreads to the mediastinum via the cervical fascia. Delayed diagnosis and surgery result in a high mortality rate among patients with DNM. We present a case of DNM resulting from odontogenic infection treated successfully with tooth extraction following mediastinal and cervical drainage. A 43-year-old, previously healthy Japanese man was admitted to our hospital for treatment of acute mediastinitis. Computed tomography revealed gas collection around the mid-thoracic esophagus and bilateral pleural effusion. We performed mediastinal drainage via right thoracotomy. Cervicotomy was performed on postoperative day 14 to drain a residual cervical abscess. The patient required the extraction of ten teeth over three procedures to address primary odontogenic infection before his fever resolved on postoperative day 40. Prompt diagnosis, aggressive drainage and removal of the source of infection can improve survival among patients with this life-threatening disease.
