Transoral Incision and Drainage of a Massive Retropharyngeal Abscess Involving the Danger Space
videoRetropharyngeal (RP) abscesses are uncommon yet serious sequala of pediatric head and neck infections. The RP space extends from the skull-base to the carina and is located between the buccopharyngeal fascia, alar fascia, and the carotid sheaths. Immediately deep to this, anterior to the prevertebral fascia, is the “danger space,” allowing infection to spread into the thorax and mediastinum. We present the use of a transoral incision, and suction assisted evacuation for managing a massive RPA with danger space extension. Our patient, a 19 months-old previously healthy female, presented with 10 days of progressive congestion, cough, and fever. Evaluation demonstrated a toxic stridorous child. Chest radiograph demonstrated significant superior mediastinal widening. Subsequent contrasted CT imaging demonstrated a large, rim-enhancing, RP fluid collection extending from the neck to the carina with tracheoesophageal compression and mediastinitis. The patient was taken urgently the OR for drainage. Following bronchoscopy and intubation, a mouth gag was used to expose the RP. Parasagittal incision was made with immediate expression of high volume purulent material. Hemostat dissection was performed to disrupt loculations and extrinsic neck compression was used to evacuate the abscess. To access the deepest components, an eight French tracheal suction catheter was passed to assist with decompression of the mediastinal components until no further material could be evacuated. Copious irrigation was performed and the incision was left open. The patient was kept intubated for 48 hours, before uneventful extubation.
Midline Cervical Cleft Excision of Fibrous Cord - Z Plasty Closure
videoZ-plasty allows broken-line closure, reorientation of the defect in the horizontal plane with re-creation of a cervicomental angle, and most importantly, a lengthening of the anterior neck skin that aids in preventing recurrent contracture. We present our experience managing a congenital cervical midline cleft in a 3-month-old patient and describe a simple technique for planning the ideal Z-plasty closure. No simple description for planning the ideal closure for this defect could be found in the otolaryngology literature.
