    Co-Authors: Jae Myeong Lee, Jong Bun Kim, Min Hye Lee, Duk Ja Kim, Hyun Ju Jung
    Abstract:

    A Retropharyngeal Abscess is a rare complication of tracheal intubation.A case of Retropharyngeal Abscess after unexpected difficult tracheal intubation is presented with a review of the medical literature.A 45-year-old female patient underwent excision and biopsy of the left false vocal cord mass under general anesthesia with tracheal intubation.There was unexpected difficulty of the tracheal intubation and several trials of intubations were performed.The patient complained of pain on the left side of the neck, a sore throat, dysphagia, and chest discomfort one day postoperatively.The patient had fever of 38.7oC.Flexible laryngoscopy, neck X-ray, neck computed tomography, and pharyngoesophagographic studies were performed, which revealed a Retropharyngeal Abscess.The patient was treated with antibiotics, nil per os, nasogastric tube feeding and underwent surgery for incision and drainage of the Retropharyngeal Abscess under local anesthesia.The patient recovered without complications, and the patient was discharged 12 days postoperatively.

  • Descending necrotizing mediastinitis secondary to a Retropharyngeal Abscess
    The European respiratory journal, 1994
    Co-Authors: Motoshi Takao, M. Ido, K. Hamaguchi, H. Chikusa, S. Namikawa, M Kusagawa
    Abstract:

    A rare case of descending necrotizing mediastinitis (DNM) secondary to a nontraumatic Retropharyngeal Abscess is reported. Even in the era of antibiotics, the mortality of DNM is still around 40%. In spite of drainage of a localized neck Abscess, and the administration of systemic antibiotics, the Retropharyngeal Abscess extended to the pericardial and pleural cavities. Several drainage procedures and thoracotomies were performed to treat the bilateral empyemas and purulent pericarditis. The patient was discharged on hospital day 52. Computed tomography was used to follow the progression of disease, and assess the efficacy of treatment. DNM is a very aggressive form of mediastinitis. The importance of proper mediastinal drainage, as well as the systemic administration of antibiotics, must be emphasized.
