Abstract

Cervical infections can cause neck phlegmonosa and occasionally develop lethal mediastinitis. We report a 52-year-old man with a retropharyngeal abscess causing descending mediastinis without cervical spread. Thoracoscopic drainage without cervicotomy was successful. Deep neck infections causing a descending mediastinitis should be considered in patients even without an abnormal neck appearance.
