submental

The boundaries of the submental space are:

Level I contains the submental and submandibular lymph nodes.

Her submental fat.

Subsequently, the infraorbital, interramal, supraorbital and submental vibrissae form.

The submental vessels also supply a territory of skin in the submental area.

Submental and submandibular regions are swollen and tender.

Grace with her baggy jowls of submental fat and deep playsmal bands around her neck.

When the submental artery turns upward over the border of the mandible it divides into a superficial and a deep branch.

Ia is the submental triangle bound by the anterior bellies of the digastric and the mylohyoid.

Efferent vessels from the facial and submental glands also enter the submaxillary glands.

The submental lymph nodes (or suprahyoid) are situated between the anterior bellies of the Digastrici.

However, it is more usual for odontogenic infections to spread into the submental space via first involving the submandibular space.

Cutaneous infections or symphyseal/parasymphyseal mandibular fractures may also give rise to a submental space infection.

The submental artery is a branch of the facial artery that runs on the underside of the chin.

This is because the infection has spread to involve the Submandibular, Sublingual and Submental spaces of the face.

By E14.5, expression was strong in the labial, submental and rhinal vibrissae (figure 4E,F).

Its contents are submental lymph nodes, areolar connective tissue and the anterior jugular veins.

Ludwig's angina is a serious infection involving the submandibular, sublingual and submental spaces bilaterally.

The dominant blood supply is from the submental branch of the facial artery and the venous drainage of the v. submentalis.

Beneath the gland, on the surface of the Mylohyoideus, are the submental artery and the mylohyoid artery and nerve.

The space coincides with the anatomic region termed the submental triangle, part of the anterior triangle of the neck.

Signs and symptoms of a severe submental abscess include a firm swelling below the chin and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).

The submental triangle (or suprahyoid triangle) is a division of the anterior triangle of the neck.

Infections of the sublingual space may also erode through the mylohyoid, or spread via the lymphatics to the submandibular and submental spaces.

Collectively, the submandibular, sublingual and submental spaces are sometimes termed the perimandibular spaces, or the submaxillary space.
