It is a potential space[1] located below the mouth and above the mylohyoid muscle, and is part of the suprahyoid group of fascial spaces. Location and structureAnatomic boundariesThe sublingual space is V-shaped, with the apex pointing to the anterior. Its boundaries are:[2]
CommunicationsThe sublingual space communicates posteriorly around the posterior free border of the mylohyoid muscle with the submandibular space.[2] Infections of the sublingual space may also erode through the mylohyoid, or spread via the lymphatics to the submandibular and submental spaces. ContentsThe sublingual space contains:[2]
Clinical relevanceThis space may be created by pathology, such as the spread of pus in an infection, e.g. odontogenic infections. A periapical abscess may spread into the sublingual space if the apex of the tooth is above the level of attachment of mylohyoid, and the infection erodes through the lingual cortical plate of the mandible. Signs and symptoms of a sublingual space infection might include a firm, painful swelling in the anterior part of the floor of the mouth. A sublingual abscess may elevate the tongue and cause drooling or dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). There is usually little swelling visible on the face outside the mouth. If the space contains pus, the usual treatment is by incision and drainage. The site of the incision is intra-oral, made lateral to sublingual plica. Incision of the plica itself can result in a ranula, or an incision placed medial to the plica can damage Wharton's duct, the sublingual artery and veins and the lingual nerve. Pathology arising from the sublingual gland is rare, however, sublingual gland neoplasms are predominantly malignant and thus important to recognize. Ludwig's angina is a serious infection involving the submandibular, sublingual and submental spaces bilaterally.[3] Ludwig's angina may extend into the pharyngeal and cervical spaces, and the swelling can compress the airway and cause dyspnoea (difficulty breathing).[3] Collectively, the submandibular, sublingual and submental spaces are sometimes termed the perimandibular spaces, or the submaxillary space.[4]References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.medcyclopaedia.com/library/topics/volume_vi_2/s/sublingual_space.aspx|title=Sublingual space|publisher=GE|work=Medcyclopaedia}} {{Digestive tract}}{{mouth anatomy}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Sublingual Space}}2. ^1 2 {{cite book|last=Neil Norton; ill. by Frank H.
