Abstract

A retropharyngeal abscess (RPA) is a deep neck space infection that can present with subtle symptoms. Although it is an uncommon diagnosis, an RPA can be life-threatening as it can result in airway compromise if not treated promptly. In this article, we report a case of a 21-month-old infant with a retropharyngeal abscess that required prompt recognition and treatment.

摘要

咽后脓肿（RPA）是一种可表现为隐匿症状的深部颈部间隙感染。尽管它是一种不常见的诊断，但RPA可能危及生命，因为如果不及时治疗，它可能导致气道受压。在本文中，我们报告了一例21个月大的患有咽后脓肿的婴儿病例，该病例需要及时识别和治疗。
