Antibiotic therapy has markedly reduced the incidence of suppuration of the deep fascial spaces of the neck. Affectations of the retropharyngeal space are not commonly encountered. This paper reviews the anatomy of the retropharyngeal space and the pathological processes that involve it. three cases are presented. One patient developed a retorpharyngeal abscess from traumatic perforation of the pharynx secondary to oroendotracheal intubation, another from neoplastic perforation secondary to carcinoma of the hypopharynx. The third patient developed a large retropharyngeal hematoma due to a fracture of the cervical spine, necessitating a tracheostomy.
抗生素治疗已显著降低了颈部深筋膜间隙化脓的发生率。咽后间隙感染并不常见。本文回顾了咽后间隙的解剖结构以及涉及其的病理过程。现报告三例病例。一例患者因经口气管插管继发咽部创伤性穿孔而形成咽后脓肿，另一例因下咽癌继发肿瘤性穿孔所致。第三例患者因颈椎骨折形成巨大咽后血肿，需要进行气管切开术。
