Retropharyngeal and prevertebral abscesses, although uncommon, present a perplexing diagnostic and therapeutic problem. In the adult, the disease is less common than in the child, but its etiology may be more diverse. Four cases of retropharyngeal or prevertebral abscesses in the adult are presented, resulting from (1) endotracheal intubation trauma, (2) esophageal perforation, (3) tuberculosis of the cervical spine, and (4) coccidioidomycosis. The pathophysiologic conditions and pertinent anatomy are discussed in relation to the medical and surgical approach to these lesions.
咽后和椎前脓肿虽不常见，但却带来了令人困惑的诊断和治疗难题。在成人中，该病比儿童中少见，但其病因可能更多样化。本文报告了4例成人咽后或椎前脓肿病例，病因分别为：（1）气管插管创伤，（2）食管穿孔，（3）颈椎结核，以及（4）球孢子菌病。结合对这些病变的内科和外科治疗方法，讨论了其病理生理状况及相关解剖结构。
