Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to present our clinical outcome on deep neck infections. Material and Methods: A retrospective chart review of 50 patients with deep neck infection, presenting between 1998 and 2005, was evaluated. Thirty four of 50 patients were male and 16 were female, with an age ranging between 1 to 70 years (mean 30.7 yrs). The findings of physical examinations, laboratory tests and radiologic and microbiologic studies were evaluated. Results: Sixteen of the 50 patients were diagnosed with peritonsillar abscesses. Other deep neck infections included parapharyngeal abscess (n=12), submandibular abscess (n=8), parotid abscess (n=5), retropharyngeal abscess (n=4), submental abscess (n=3) and Ludwig’s angina (n=2). Staphylococcus Aereus is the most common etiologic agent. The length of hospitalization period ranged from 2 to 24 days (mean 9 days). Forty-one patients of the 50 patiens required surgery, including open drainage in 36 patients, repeat needle aspiration in 6 patients and closed drainage in 3 patients. Two patients who acquired life-threatening complications, upper-airway obstruction and tracheotomy was performed. One patient with septic shock died and the mortality rate was 2% in our series. Conclusions: Most deep neck infections still remain as an important problem despite improvement in diagnosis and treatment.

Özet

Amaç: Derin boyun enfeksiyonları (DBE) ile ilgili klinik sonuçlarımızın sunulması. Gereç ve Yöntem: 1998-2005 yılları arasında DBE tanısı alan 50 hastanın dosyaları geriye dönük olarak gözden geçirildi. Yaşları 1-70 (ortalama 30,7) arasında değişen bu 50 hastanın 34’ü erkek, 16’sı kadındı. Hastaların fizik muayene bulguları, laboratuar testleri, mikrobiyolojik ve radyolojik çalışma sonuçları değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Elli vakanın 16’sı peritonsiller abse tanısı almıştı. Diğer DBE arasında parafaringeal abse (n=12), submandibüler abse (n=8), parotis absesi (n=5), retrofaringeal abse (n=4), submental abse (n=3) ve Ludwig anjini (n=2) belirlendi. Staphylococcus Aureus en sık rastlanan etyolojik ajandı. Hastalar 2-24 gün (ortalama 9)arası değişen sürelerde hospitalize edildi. Otuz iki tanesi açık drenaj, altısı tekrarlayan ponksiyon ve üç tanesi kapalı drenaj olmak üzere 41 hasta operasyona gitti. İki hastada üst solunum yolu obstrüksiyonu gelişti, trakeotomi uygulandı. Septik şok gelişen bir hasta kaybedildi ve serimizde mortalite oranı %2 olarak bulundu. Sonuçlar: Derin boyun enfeksiyonları, tanı ve tedavideki tüm gelişmelere rağmen, önemli bir sorun olmaya devam etmektedir.
