Diagnosis and treatment of 12 patients with deep neck infection and inferior mediastinal infection
-
摘要: 目的 总结颈深部并下行性纵隔感染患者的临床表现和治疗治验。 方法 回顾12例颈深部并下行性纵隔感染患者的临床资料,分析临床表现、感染起源、细菌培养结果、相关系统疾病、手术引流方式及治疗结果。 结果 临床提示下行性纵隔感染典型表现为胸部疼痛,皮下捻发感。CT见颈部和纵隔积气及脓肿可确诊。感染起源主要为咽部感染,其次为牙源性感染。系统性疾病主要为糖尿病。术中取脓性分泌物培养,阳性率为58.3%(7/12),以链球菌感染为主。手术治疗包括9例单纯经颈部手术和3例颈胸部联合手术,胸部引流由胸外科通过胸腔镜、纵隔镜或B超引导下穿刺完成,无患者行开放手术。10例患者治愈,2例死亡,死亡率16.7%。 结论 颈深部并下行性纵隔感染早期无特异性,临床需提高警惕,以免延误诊治。及时的脓肿引流、有效的气道保护、抗菌治疗和处理潜在的危及生命的并发症是治疗成功的关键。Abstract: Objective To summarize the clinical manifestations and treatment of patients with deep neck infection with descending mediastinal infection. Methods The clinical data of 12 patients with deep neck infection with descending mediastinal infection were reviewed. The clinical manifestations, infection origin, bacterial culture results, related systemic diseases, surgical drainage methods and treatment results were analyzed. Results The typical clinical features of descending mediastinal infection were chest pain and subcutaneous crackling, diagnosis can confirmed by CT scan detected gas and abscess in the neck and mediastinal space. The main origin of infection was pharyngeal infection, followed by odontogenic infection. Systemic diseases were mainly diabetes mellitus. The positive rate of purulent secretion culture was 58.3%(7/12), streptococcus account for the highest proportion. Surgical treatment included 9 patients undergoing neck surgery alone and 3 patients undergoing combined neck and chest surgery. Chest drainage was performed by thoracic surgery through mediastinoscopy or thoracoscopic surgery or B-ultrasound guided puncture, and no patient underwent open surgery. Ten patients were cured and two died, with a mortality rate of 16.7%. Conclusion The deep neck infection with descending mediastinal infection has no specificity in the early stage. Timely abscess drainage, effective airway protection, antimicrobial therapy, and management of potentially life-threatening complications such as sepsis, mediastinitis, and pneumonia are the key to successful treatment.
