Retropharyngeal space abscess

Retropharyngeal abscess (RPA) is an abscess located in the tissues in the back of the throat behind the posterior pharyngeal wall. It extends from the base of the skull to a variable level between the T1 and T6 vertebral bodies.

they are difficult to diagnose by physical examination alone. Early diagnosis is key, while a delay in diagnosis and treatment may

lead to death. Parapharyngeal space communicates with retropharyngeal space

and an infection of retropharyngeal space can pass down behind the oesophagus into mediastinum

Most commonly seen in infants and young children,  RPAs can also occur in adults of any age.

RPA can lead to airway obstruction or sepsis - both life-threatening emergencies. 

Retropharyngeal space abscess

Retropharyngeal space abscess

Boundaries:

anterior margin: middle layer of the deep cervical fascia 1

posterior margin: alar fascia, which separates the retropharyngeal space from the danger space

lateral margins: deep layer of the deep cervical fascia 1 superior margin: the clivus inferior margin: the point at which the alar fascia fuses

with the middle layer of the deep cervical fascia, typically around the T4 vertebral body 3

Retropharyngeal space abscess

The retropharyngeal space is:

1. anterior to the danger space

2. posterior to the pharyngeal mucosal space

3. anteromedial to the carotid space

4. posteromedial to the parapharyngeal space

Retropharyngeal space abscess

contents:

1. areolar fat 

2. lymph nodes (lateral and medial retropharyngeal)

3. small vessels

Retropharyngeal space abscess

etiology:

1. bacterial infection originating from the nasopharynx, tonsils, sinuses, adenoids or middle ear. Any Upper Respiratory Infection (URI) can be a cause. RPA can also result from a direct infection due to penetrating injury or a foreign body.

2. Odontogenic cause

Management:Management:

1. A tonsillectomy approach is typically used to access/drain the abscess.

Carotid sheath abscess

The carotid space is a roughly cylindrical space that extends from the skull base through to the aortic arch.  It is circumscribed by all three layers of the deep cervical fascia, forming the carotid sheath :

1. Pretracheal2. Prevertebral3. investing

Carotid sheath abscess

Boundaries:

1. superior margin: lower border of jugular foramen

2. inferior margin: aortic arch

3. Anterolateral :  sternocleidomastoid muscle

Carotid sheath abscess

Relations:

1. Suprahyoid carotid space:

2. anteriorly: masticator space; parapharyngeal space

3. laterally: parotid space

4. posteriorly: perivertebral space

Carotid sheath abscess

Contents:

1. common carotid artery inferiorly and internal carotid artery superiorly

2. internal jugular vein3. glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX)4. vagus nerve (CN X)5. accessory nerve (CN XI)6. hypoglossal nerve (CN XII)7. sympathetic nerves8. deep cervical lymph node chain

Carotid sheath abscess

Etiology:

1. Infection usually arises from thrombosis of the internal jugular vein or from infection of those deep cervical lymph nodes that lie within the sheath ·

2. Thrombosis of the jugular vein from a deep infection of the neck is probably not due to direct infection of the carotid sheath, but rather to the fact that infectious material follows tributaries of the internal jugular vein to reach the sheath. ·

3. Drug use (Heroin) usually use carotid route to obtain a fast high. 

Carotid sheath abscess

Clinical picture:

1. Swelling extend to the neck

2. Localized pain along the course of the vessels

Carotid sheath abscess

Management:

Incision and drainage along the anterior border of sternomasoid muscle.

If the external jugular vien is indurated and thrombosed it must be ligated to prevent farther spread.

Abscess of the parotid space

It is a rare condition to occur due to dental sepsis, but it may occur due to:

• Septic parotitis• Septic fracture of the ascending ramus• Indirect spread from the parapharyngeal and

submandibular space

Abscess of the parotid space

Anatomy :The parotid space lies between the two

layers of the superficial layer of fascia, these tow layers are situated medially and anteriorly . It is bounded laterally by superficial layer of deep cervical fascia, it is in direct continuation with the submasseteric space, submandibular space, parapharyngeal space

vein5.Parotid lymph node6.Posterior facial vein
