Descending necrotising mediastinitis is a rare but serious complication of oropharyngeal infections with high mortality. Diagnosis is frequently delayed, contributing to this high mortality, but awareness of such a complication and early diagnosis using computed tomographic scanning leads to prompt surgical drainage, proper antibiotic therapy, and survival.

下行性坏死性纵隔炎是口咽感染的一种罕见但严重的并发症，死亡率很高。诊断常常延迟，这导致了高死亡率，但认识到这种并发症并使用计算机断层扫描进行早期诊断可促使及时进行手术引流、给予适当的抗生素治疗并提高生存率。
