Adenophlegmon

Adenophlemgoma is a condition in which an accumulation of purulent exudate occurs in the body in soft tissues and organs. This disease requires immediate medical attention as it can lead to serious complications and even death of the patient.

Adenophlemgon occurs as a result of inflammation of the lymph nodes located under the jaw, in the neck or on the chest. Inflammation can be caused by infection, injury, or surgery. After inflammation begins, infections quickly penetrate the inflamed area through the lymphatic channels. These infectious substances cover the upper layers of tissue lining the surface of tissue-producing organs (soft tissue, skin, mucous membranes, fascia).

Penetrating infection damages these tissues. The tissue begins to swell, becomes voluminous and painful, and the surrounding tissue hardens. This condition is known as cellulitis. Curdled phlegmon is a special type of adenophlebema associated with infection in the lymphatic vessels, which are already involved in the inflammatory process. Therefore, as a rule, the lymph nodes become ill. Then purulent cavities form in them, and the infiltrates do not resolve, which ensures that the swelling persists. Fascial fibrosis develops around these lesions.

Depending on the location of phlegmon, the following types of disease are distinguished:

1. Submandibular phlegmon, which occurs under the lower jaw. It is manifested by swelling, pain, suppuration of the submandibular area and a smoothed mental tubercle. 2. Ophthalmic phlegmon is located around the orbit in the front, but is separated from the back and front by the hard palate. characterized by acute pain and swelling of the eyelids, tear
