Sternoclavicular joint septic arthritis results from hematogenous spread of a bacterial infection, usually in the immunocompromised. It commonly presents as a chest wall abscess. Cervical abscess resulting from sternoclavicular joint septic arthritis is a rare complication with only one reported case in the English literature. We describe a case of sternoclavicular joint septic arthritis in an elderly diabetic adult with cervical abscess as initial presentation.
胸锁关节化脓性关节炎是由细菌感染经血行播散引起的，通常发生在免疫功能低下者。它常表现为胸壁脓肿。胸锁关节化脓性关节炎导致的颈部脓肿是一种罕见的并发症，英文文献中仅报道过1例。我们描述了1例以颈部脓肿为首发表现的老年糖尿病成人胸锁关节化脓性关节炎病例。
