Abstract

Özet

Retrofarengeal abse çocukluk döneminin nadir görülen fakat ciddi komplikasyonlara yol açabilmesiyle de ölümcül olabilen bir derin boyun enfeksiyonudur. Bu açıdan çocukluk döneminde ayırıcı tanıda mutlaka düşünülmesi gereken acil bir durumdur. Hastalar klasik olarak boyunda ağrı, ateş, baş ağrısı, ağrılı yutma gibi şikayetlerle başvururlar. Biz burada stridor ile başvuran bir retrofarengeal abse olgusu sunuyoruz.
