Abstract

Aim: In our study, we assessed symptoms and treatment outcomes in patients with deep neck infections (DNI). It often has a rapid onset and can cause lethal complications.Methods: A retrospective designed study of 85 patients diagnosed with DNI such as peritonsillar, parapharyngeal, and submandibular abscesses.Results: A total of 85 patients were diagnosed with DNI. 33 of the 85 patients were younger than 18 (group of children), and 52 were older than 18 years of age (group of adults). The mean age of the patients was 24.109±14.003 years. Trismus, fever, odynophagia and pain were the most common complaints in both groups. In the adults group, the peritonsillar space was the most common site of infection (49%). In children group, the parapharyngeal space was the most common site of infection (35%). All patients were given intravenous antibiotic therapy and additional drainage of the abscess was also carried out for some of the patients. Most frequently, intravenous ampicillin-sulbactam alone or in combination with metronidazole was administrated to the patients.Conclusion: Most of the cases of DNI can be treated with intravenous antibiotics in spite of the fact that if there is no clinical healing, drainage is needed

Özet

Amaç:­Çalışmamızda derin boyun enfeksiyonlarının klinik bulguları ve tedavi sonuçları değerlendirilmiştir. Derin boyun enfeksiyonları hızla ilerleyen ve ölümcül komplikasyonları olabilen hastalıklardır.Yöntemler:­Parafarengeal, submandibular ve peritonsiller apselerden oluşan derin boyun enfeksiyonlarını değerlendirdiğimiz ve 85 hastalık retrospektif olarak planladığımız bir çalışmadır. Bulgular: Derin boyun enfeksiyonu tanısı alan 85 hastanın, 33'ü 18 yaş altı (çocuk grubu), 52'si 18 yaş üstü idi (erişkin grup). Hastaların yaşlarının dört ile 56 arasında olduğu gözlendi (ortalama 24,109±14,003). Her iki grupta en sık görülen şikayetler; ateş, trismus, ağrı ve odinofaji idi. Erişkinlerde derin boyun enfeksiyonu en sık peritonsiller alanda, çocuklarda ise parafarengeal alanda gözlenmiştir. Tüm hastalara intravenöz antibiyoterapi başlanmış ve bazı hastalara cerrahi drenaj uygulanmıştır. En sık intravenöz antibiyotik olarak ampisilin-sulbaktam tek başına ya da metronidazol ile kombine edilerek kullanılmıştır.Sonuç: Birçok derin boyun enfeksiyonu olgusu intravenöz antiyotik ile tedavi edilebilmektedir. Eğer iyileşme olmaz ise bu hastalara cerrahi drenaj uygulamak gerekmektedir.
