We report a case of retropharyngeal abscess with spondylitis causing tetraplegia. At a previous hospital, administration of antibiotics improved the inflammation findings. However, magnetic resonace imaging showed a remaining retropharyngeal abscess. This patient showed a disturbance of consciousness under this therapy. Therefore, he was admitted to our hospital and underwent a drainage operation. At 1 day after this operation, he recovered from the disturbance of consciousness.
我们报告一例因咽后脓肿合并脊柱炎导致四肢瘫痪的病例。在之前的医院,使用抗生素治疗后炎症表现有所改善。然而,磁共振成像显示仍存在咽后脓肿。该患者在这种治疗下出现意识障碍。因此,他被收治入我院并接受了引流手术。术后第1天,他从意识障碍中恢复过来。
