Abstract
BACKGROUND
In recent years, people have paid more attention to oral health with the development of stomatology. Due to the various physiological changes during pregnancy, such as changing hormone levels and immune functions, oral diseases have a high incidence during pregnancy, and the prevention and treatment of oral diseases have also received the attention of both dentists and obstetricians. However, the anesthetic management of pregnant patients with oral disease, especially severe maxillofacial infections, and patients who need surgical treatment or have obstetric emergencies and need to terminate their pregnancy is not clear.
CASE SUMMARY
This article describes a parturient patient with a severe masseteric space infection who had an emergency cesarean section.
CONCLUSION
This case report aims to discuss the important anesthetic considerations for these patients.
