Retropharyngeal abscess is potentially associated with high morbidity and mortality as a result of its direct anatomical connection with the mediastinum. Therefore, knowledge of the relevant anatomy is essential for recognizing the presence and extent of disease in a timely manner. In this case report, we aim to review the pertinent anatomy and patterns of spread of infection from a full blown deep neck space infection to result in mediastinitis and empyema.
由于咽后脓肿与纵隔直接相连,因此其具有较高的发病率和死亡率。所以,了解相关解剖结构对于及时识别疾病的存在和范围至关重要。在本病例报告中,我们旨在回顾相关解剖结构以及感染从严重的深部颈部间隙感染扩散至纵隔炎和脓胸的途径。
