Abstract
Deep neck infection is often seen in ENT practice and could become a life-threatening disease if it is not diagnosed promptly and is not treated properly. Airway management, proper antibiotics and management of purulent discharge are required. No criteria, however, exist for treatment of deep neck infection by surgery or by conservative management alone. The aim of this study was to review retrospectively cases of deep neck infection which were treated in Kurashiki Central Hospital and identify the characteristics of the surgical cases with bibliographic consideration. Descending necrotizing mediastinitis (DNM) is reviewed separately.
