A case of isolated carotid space abscess is reported here for its rarity. No identifiable cause was detected in this case. Management involved incision and drainage of the abscess, close monitoring for the signs of complications and 8 weeks long antibiotic coverage. The only stigma of the abscess six months after presentation is a unilateral vocal cord palsy. A brief review of relate literature is also included.
