Vascular complications secondary to retropharyngeal abscess are rarely encountered in the post antibiotic era and include compression of internal carotid artery (ICA), infective arteritis and pseudoaneurysm formation. Post infectious ICA pseudoaneurysm formation is reported predominantly in the paediatric age group and rare in adults. We report a case of retropharyngeal abscess complicated by ICA pseudoaneurysm in an adult successfully managed by endovascular approach.
在抗生素时代之后,咽后脓肿继发的血管并发症很少见,包括颈内动脉(ICA)受压、感染性动脉炎和假性动脉瘤形成。感染后ICA假性动脉瘤形成主要报道于儿童年龄组,在成人中罕见。我们报告一例成人咽后脓肿并发ICA假性动脉瘤,通过血管内方法成功治疗。
