Description

We recently experienced a case of retropharyngeal abscess caused by pyogenic spondylitis. The patient was a 63-year-old male who visited our department complaining of dysphagia. Diagnosis of retropharyngeal abscess was readily made from the local findings. After discission on the posterior wall of the pharynx profuse drainage of purulent discharge was observed. The inflammation seemed to subside gradually, but the tetraparesis was exacerbating. Pyogenic spondylitis was diagnosed through radiological studies. After this diagnosis was made, orthopedical surgery was performed and the prognosis of this patient seemed to be good.
