目的:本研究的目的是评估诊断情况,诱发因素,调查,咽后和咽旁脓肿的治疗管理。
方法:对2001年至2021年被诊断为咽后或咽旁脓肿的患者进行回顾性图表回顾。流行病学特征,临床体征,调查,医疗,并对每位患者的手术干预进行分析.
结果:共发现30例咽后或咽旁脓肿患者。所有病例均进行了计算机断层扫描,3例进行了磁共振成像。12名患者患有“纯粹的”咽后脓肿,九名患者患有前茎突脓肿,一名患者患有与扁桃体周围脓肿相关的前茎突脓肿,三个病人有一个茎突脓肿,5例患者的茎前脓肿与咽后脓肿或茎后脓肿相关。脓肿的中长轴为42cm。所有患者均接受静脉注射抗生素,中位时间为8天[4-30]。17例患者需要手术经宫颈引流。其他患者接受经口或经鼻引流。6例脓液培养显示无生长,链球菌(4例),甲氧西林敏感金黄色葡萄球菌(2例),克雷伯菌(2例),肠杆菌(一例),真菌(两种情况),和结核分枝杆菌(一个12岁的男孩)。在12个案例中没有记录。组织学检查显示,一名53岁男子患有滤泡性结核。在25名患者中,随访期间未观察到不良事件.5例患者的预后不佳。
结论:近年来,我们发现这些感染的发生率有所增加。计算机断层扫描是诊断和随访咽后和咽旁脓肿的最佳影像学检查。早期引流和抗菌治疗对于快速恢复和预防这些脓肿的并发症至关重要。
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnosis circumstances, predisposing factors, investigations, and therapeutic management of retropharyngeal and
parapharyngeal abscesses.
METHODS: A retrospective chart review of patients diagnosed with retropharyngeal or
parapharyngeal abscess from 2001 to 2021 was performed. Epidemiological characteristics, clinical signs, investigations, medical treatment, and surgical interventions were analyzed for each patient.
RESULTS: A total of 30 patients with retropharyngeal or
parapharyngeal abscess were identified. Computed tomography was performed in all cases, and magnetic resonance imaging was performed in three cases. Twelve patients had a \"pure\" retropharyngeal abscess, nine patients had a prestyloid abscess, one patient had a prestyloid abscess associated with a peritonsillar abscess, three patients had a retrostyloid abscess, and five patients had a prestyloid abscess associated with a retropharyngeal abscess or a retrostyloid abscess. The median long axis of the abscess was 42 cm. All patients received intravenous antibiotics for a median period of 8 days [4-30]. Seventeen patients required surgical trans-cervical drainage. Other patients underwent transoral or transnasal drainage. The pus culture revealed no growth in six cases, streptococcus (four cases), methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (two cases), Klebsiella (two cases), Enterobacter (one case), Fungi (two cases), and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (a twelve-year-old boy). It was not documented in twelve cases. Histological examination revealed caseofollicular tuberculosis in a 53-year-old man. In 25 patients, no adverse events were observed during follow-up. Five patients had an unfavorable outcome.
CONCLUSIONS: We have found an increase in the incidence of these infections in recent years. Computed tomography is the best imaging examination for the diagnosis and follow-up of retropharyngeal and
parapharyngeal abscess. Early drainage and antimicrobial therapy are essential for rapid recovery and prevention of complications of these abscesses.
