  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 55-year-old man with a poorly controlled diabetes mellitus and alcoholic cirrhosis presented with a 7-day's history of fever, odynophagia and subsequent tetraplegiafor 2 days.

Cervical MRI demonstrated prevertebral collection of fluid with high signal changes in C6 and C7 vertebrae consistent with osteomyelitis. After tracheostomy under local anesthesia, emergent drainage was performed using both transoral and extracervical incison and he recovered from tetraplegia. Because retropharyngeal abscess often lead to lethal complication, appropriate diagnosis and treatment are mandatory.
