In Ludwig's angina the classical sign is:
A. Tongue is raised and falls back causing
respiratory embarrassment
B. That submandibular sublingual and submental
spaces are involved though tongue may
not be raised
C. That submandibular, sublingual and submental
spaces are involved bilaterally
D. Board-like brawny induration of mandible
with tongue falling back and causing respiratory
embarrassment
10. In Ludwig's angina the incision should be
placed deep uptill:
A. Mylohyoid muscle
B. Anterior belly of digastric
C. Geniohyoid
D. Mucous membrane of floor of mouth
11. Infections of lateral pharyngeal space travel
usually from:
A. Temporal pouches
B. Masticator space
C. Sublingual space
D. None of the above
12. Infections of lateral pharyngeal space are life
theratening because they carry dangers of:
A. Thrombosis of rjV B. Erosion of ICA
C. Oedema of larynx D. All of the above
13. Infections from lateral pharyngeal space can
transverse to:
A. Anterior mediastinum
B. Middle mediastinum
C. Posterior mediastinum
D. Only superior mediastinum
14. Infections from submandibular space and submental
space usually transverse to:
A. Anterior mediastinum
B. Middle mediastinum
C. Posterior mediastinum
D. Only superior mediastinum
15. Infections which travel from masticator space to
parotid space are very painful because:
A. Facial nerve is irritated
B. The capsule of parotid does not give way for
the developing infection to spread
C. Auriculotemporal nerve is irritated by infection
D. None of the above
16. While giving a inferior alveolar nerve block,
infection is transposed to:
A. Pterygopalatine fossa
B. Pterygomandibular space
C. Submandibular space
D. Masticator space
17. While giving posterior superior alveolar nerve
block, infection may be instituted into:
A. Pterygomandibular space
B. Infratemporal fossa
C. Temporal pouches
D. Pterygopalatine fossa
18. A patient, presented with ophthalmoplegia and
signs of meningitis after extraction of upper
central incisor, could be diagnosed as due to:
A. Tumour of pituitary
B. Tuberculous meningitis
C. Cavernous sinus thrombosis
D. No relation
19. The diagnostic sign/s which Eagelton characterised
for cavernous sinus thrombosis is/are:
A. Known site of infection
B. Paresis of III, IV, VI nerves
C. Proptosis of eye and (B)
D. All of the above
20. Dissecting subperiosteal abscess develops:
A. Immediately after 3rd molar extraction on
lingual side
Several weeks later and distant to site of 3rd
molar extraction
In association of post extraction infection in
buccal area of extracted 3rd molar
When extensive dissection is done while
extracting an impacted tooth
21. An acute alveolar abscess should be treated with:
A. First antibiotics for three days and then
incision and drainage
Incision and drainage with broad spectrum
antibiotic
Broad spectrum antibiotics and analgecis
Antibiotics and proteolytic drugs
