Summary

Introduction

La cellulite cervico-faciale est une diffusion cellulaire d’un foyer infectieux vers les tissus cellulo-adipeux. Elle touche préférentiellement les tissus mous souscutanés de la face et du cou. Elle constitue un problème de santé publique avec une morbi-mortalité élevée. Les populations défavorisées avec une mauvaise hygiène bucco-dentaire sont les plus exposées. Sa prévalence est plus élévée chez les adultes jeunes 16-35ans (81%) de sexe masculin. [6] La porte d’entrée est le plus souvent dentaire, mais aussi pharyngée. Il s’agit d’une affection grave avec une tendance à l’extension rapide et pouvant mettre en jeu le pronostic vital à court et moyen terme. L’infection est en générale polymicrobienne associant des germes aérobies et anaérobies. Cette étude est initiée pour passer en revue la prise en charge de cette affection méconnue auprès des praticiens,décrire notre expérience, et citer les facteurs favorisants
