ABSTRACT
The incidence of retropharyngeal abscess has been decreased with the use of antibiotics, but it can cause critical complications such as airway obstruction, aspiration pneumonia, disseminated intravascular coagulation, mediastinitis, or sepsis. A vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) device is a surgical drain that can help prevent reaccumulation of purulent collections. We present one case of retropharyngeal abscess treated by VAC and highlight the utility of VAC in the management of retropharyngeal abscess.
