Abstract

Lingual abscesses are rarely seen clinical conditions. However, they can often be missed in the differential diagnosis. They need to be quickly recognized and treated as they can threaten the airway. In this article, three cases of lingual abscess with different etiologies admitted to our clinic within three months are presented. The basis of the management of the treatment of lingual abscesses is to drain the abscess urgently after the airway is secured. If the abscess is located in the anterior 2/3 of the tongue, drainage can be performed in the emergency room or outpatient clinic with needle aspiration or incision. However, it can be performed in the operating room with the aid of intubation if it is located in the posterior 1/3 of the tongue; because posteriorly located abscess may threaten the airway. This pathology should be well known because it can be life-threatening if left untreated.
