OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to describe the CT findings in patients with Bezold's abscesses. CONCLUSION: Bezold's abscesses are rare complications of mastoiditis. In our series most were seen in adults and were associated with a history of cholesteatoma and mastoidectomy. CT of the neck and temporal bone can help the surgeon determine appropriate treatment.
