Abstract

Deep neck space infections is a dangerous, life- threatening condition, requiring timely specialist intervention. The pathogenetic mechanism is the spread of infection via blood or lympatic lines and adjacent areas (The infection can spread to various deep neck spaces), usually caused by infection in the throat and teeth. A case of deep neck space infections complicating mediastinal and left pleural cavity abscesses was treated in 175 hospital on 06/2020. The patient was treated at a lower level hospital, with a diagnosis of acute pharyngitis. After 6 days, the desease worsened with the following symtomps: fever, sore throat, painful swallowing, voice change, chest pain and difficulty breathing. The patient was transferred to Military Hospital 175 for surgery to start the incision on both sides of the neck and open the mediastinum and the left pleural cavity to remove all abscesses and subsequently, to drain and irrigate them. Overall, the post-operative result was good. We would like to make a report on the case of this dangerous disease.
