Abstract: To analyze the clinical characteristics of the deep neck infection complicated with mediastinal abscess, and discuss the effective prevention and treatment. One case with the diagnosis of deep neck infection complicated with mediastinal abscess in our hospital was reported and relevant literatures were reviewed. The chief complaint of the patient was sore throat associated with fever for a week. The admitting diagnosis was parapharyngeal abscess and peritonsillar imflammation. Then the disease rapidly developed to mediastinal abscess, which was diagnosed by cervical CT. The patient was cured with the application of effective antibiotics and two ways of incision and drainage in the different progression stage of the disease. The key to successful treatment of the deep neck infection complicated with mediastinal abscess is early recognition, effective antibiotics, timely surgical drainage, and meanwhile positive nutritional support.
