Two cases with severe cervical cellulitis which originated from the odontogenic infection were reported.Case 1 was a 48-year-old male who underwent extraction of the right lower third molar while it had acute infection. The inflammation promptly extended to the floor of the mouth, submandibular space and right cervical region.Case 2 was a 62-year-old male who had a past history of heart infarction. Although he had been receiving an antibiotic therapy for the apical periodontitis of the left lower second molar from his dentist, it soon progressed through parapharyngeal abscess to the bilateral cervical cellulitis and finally mediastinitis.The extended lesions of both cases could only be managed by wide ranges of curettage and drainage through extended incisions over the neck.
