| Core Tip |
Adult retropharyngeal abscess is extremely rare as degeneration of the lymph nodes in the retropharyngeal space occurs after the age of 5 years, and most adult retropharyngeal abscesses are related to cervical spine tuberculosis. In this case report, the patient was considered to have acute non-tubercular suppurative inflammation in the retropharyngeal space. The clinical course of the patient was not straightforward, in that the initial manifestation was acute upper airway obstruction and the diagnosis of retropharyngeal abscess was only confirmed after two tracheal intubations when relevant examinations were performed. |
