Abstract:
Isolated submandibular suppurative sialadenitis occurring in the neonatal period is extremely rare. At present, only 15 cases of isolated submandibular sialadenitis in the neonatal period have been reported in the literature. We report a rare case of multiple deep neck abscess in association with both submandibular suppurative sialadenitis in a term neonate.
