Retropharyngeal abscess is a relatively uncommon midline deep neck space infection that extends from the base of the skull to the posterior mediastinum, situated between the buccopharyngeal and alar fascias. In this case report, we present a 14-month-old previously healthy female patient who had a high-grade fever for 7 days, associated with neck stiffness and restriction of neck movements to the right side. Her parents noticed decreased oral intake associated with dysphagia, muffled quality of voice, and obstructive sleep apnea. However, the patient had no clinical signs of mechanical obstruction on examination. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan of the neck showed a large retropharyngeal septated fluid collection measuring 8 × 3 × 6 cm, which was categorized as a large retropharyngeal abscess that was complicated by descending mediastinitis. The patient was taken immediately to the operation theater for incision and drainage under general anesthesia, after which she was started on intravenous antibiotics.

Introduction: Chronic retropharyngeal abscess can occur in the adults as well as in children. It is usually due to tuberculous infection of the cervical spine as the pus directly spreads through the anterior longitudinal ligament into the retropharyngeal space. Case report: We report a case of chronic retropharyngeal abscess in a 60-year-old woman who presented with throat pain and dysphagia. On examination there was bulging of the posterior pharyngeal wall and also right sided neck swelling. She was treated by external drainage of abscess under local anaesthesia and she recovered well with anti-tubercular drugs DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjo.v18i2.12032 Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol 2012; 18(2): 242-244

AbstractObjective:To report and discuss the surgical use of ultrasonography for draining a parapharyngeal space infection in a child.Case report:The use of image-guided surgery for draining a parapharyngeal abscess has been previously reported, with computed tomography for an intra-oral approach and ultrasound for an external approach. We present the first case report of a four-year-old child with a retropharyngeal abscess and a deep parapharyngeal abscess in whom neck ultrasound was used to assist intra-oral drainage.Conclusion:Neck ultrasound may be used in paediatric patients to visualise access to the parapharyngeal space through the intra-oral route for abscess drainage.

Review Of The Literature

AbstractRetropharyngeal abscesses in adults are very rare and usually secondary to chronic tuberculous cervical spine osteomyelitis. We report a case of Staphylococcus aureus septicaemia with multifocal abscesses and osteomyelitis of the cervical spine causing a retropharyngeal abscess. This presented as neck pain and dysphagia following a fall. In addition, we have reviewed related cases.
