Abstract
Acute mediastinitis is an infection of the mediastinum, which is often fulminant and unresponsive to the best therapeutic efforts. However, if mediastinitis is diagnosed before it reaches the morbid pathological state, appropriate antibiotic therapy and surgical intervention may favorably alter the prognosis. We report a 57-year-old woman who presented with neck pain and was initially suspected of having acute thyroiditis. She was transferred to our hospital and acute descending mediastinitis secondary to an odontogenic infection was diagnosed.
