Retropharyngeal abscess is an unusual infection in teenagers, and it is rarely associated with blunt trauma. We present the case of 17-year-old male who developed signs and symptoms of retropharyngeal abscess soon after being struck by a car. The case illustrates that retropharyngeal abscess should be considered, even in an adolescent, if the patient has fever, neck stiffness, and sore throat with symptoms out of proportion to the oropharyngeal findings.
咽后脓肿在青少年中是一种罕见的感染，很少与钝性创伤相关。我们报告一例17岁男性病例，该患者在被汽车撞击后不久就出现了咽后脓肿的症状和体征。该病例表明，如果患者出现发热、颈部僵硬和咽痛，且症状与口咽部检查结果不成比例，即使是青少年，也应考虑咽后脓肿的可能。
