Abstract: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a common complication of type I and occasionally type II diabetes mellitus. Patients with DKA require intensive multidisciplinary care involving dental surgeons and endocrine physicians in a hospital setting. The association between diabetes mellitus and oral infections is very common and infection is a well-recognized trigger of DKA. Yet very few cases of DKA secondary to dental infections have been reported in the literature. We, herein, report an interesting case of a pediatric patient presenting with ketoacidosis secondary to acute cervical adenophlegmon of dental origin.
