ABSTRACT

El absceso retrofaríngeo es una infección del espacio retrofaríngeo, potencialmente letal e infrecuente actualmente, gracias al uso de antibióticos. Suele estar causado por una linfadenitis supurativa secundaria a una infección locorregional de cabeza y cuello. Es el absceso más frecuente en la edad pediátrica, debiendo estar presente en nuestro diagnóstico ante una evolución tórpida de un proceso infeccioso de cabeza y cuello que cursa con adenitis. Debe realizarse sin demora una radiografía lateral cervical, y si existen dudas un TAC. Sistematizamos su diagnóstico y tratamiento para evitar sus graves complicaciones


Retropharingeal abscess is a potentially lethal but infrequent infection of the retropharyngeal space, thanks to the use of antibiotics. Caused by a suppurative lymphadenitis secondary to a locoregional infection of the head and neck, it is the most frequent abscess in Paediatric age. It must be present in out differential diagnosis when facing a torpid development of head and neck infectious processes accompanied by adenitis. A cervical lateral X-Ray should be done without delay and in case of doubt, a CAT -scan is mandatory. We protocolise its diagnosis and treatment in order to avoid its serious complications
