RESUMO
The analysis of 387 cases of mandibular fractures complicated by posttraumatic infections is presented. These infections were quite diverse - from local suppuration of soft tissues surrounding the fracture to widespread processes affecting fatty tissue planes, including the anterior and posterior mediastinum. Infectious complications determine the injury outcome in each case - recovery, disability, or death. Two clinical observations with lethal outcomes are described.
