Popis: | We describe a 23-year-old patient who after extraction of four wisdom teeth developed a descending necrotizing mediastinitis with a spontaneous fistula to the left main bronchus. Because of this fistula, treatment was limited to surgical drainage of the neck region and antibiotics. Recovery was uneventful. |
