牙源性或上呼吸道起源的威胁生命的感染可能扩展到由下头和上子宫颈区域的筋膜平面形成的潜在空间。并发症包括气道阻塞，纵隔炎,坏死性筋膜炎,海绵窦血栓形成,脓毒症,胸腔脓胸,Lemierre综合征,脑脓肿,眼眶脓肿,骨髓炎。现代抗生素治疗大大降低了这些“空间感染”的发生率。然而,严重的发病率甚至死亡继续发生。本研究回顾了牙源性感染的并发症。所做的搜索是基于PubMed和谷歌学者，并进行了广泛的出版作品搜索。使用术语“牙源性感染，“\”并发症，“和”风险因素。\"
Life-threatening infections of odontogenic or upper airway origin may extend to potential spaces formed by fascial planes of the lower head and upper cervical area. Complications include airway obstruction, mediastinitis, necrotizing fascitis, cavernous sinus thrombosis, sepsis, thoracic empyema, Lemierre\'s syndrome, cerebral abscess, orbital abscess, and osteomyelitis. The incidence of these \"space infections\" has been greatly reduced by modern antibiotic therapy. However, serious morbidity and even fatalities continue to occur. This study reviews complications of odontogenic infections. The search done was based on PubMed and Google Scholar, and an extensive published work search was undertaken. Advanced MEDLINE search was performed using the terms \"odontogenic infections,\" \"complications,\" and \"risk factors.\"
