AbstractLife-threatening sequelae of Epstein-Barr virus infection are uncommon but may present as: local pharyngeal manifestations, splenic rupture, neurological and haematological disorders and altered hepatic function. We present a case of retropharyngeal haematoma with posterior hypopharyngeal wall necrosis, thrombocytopenia and altered clotting function as a result of Epstein-Barr virus infection. A review of the literature on retropharyngeal haematoma reveals this to be the only recorded case which can be directly attributed to Epstein-Barr virus infection.
