Abstract
Necrotizing cellulitis affecting the posterior or pharynx, sub maxillary and sublingual spaces are called as Ludwig’s angina. It can cause airway obstruction and airway compromise and death if not attended as an emergency incision and drainage. We present a case managed successfully by awake blind nasal intubation.
