Kawasaki disease with retropharyngeal edema (KD with RPE) is a rare complication, and it is diagnosed by neck CT. Most reported cases had a delayed diagnosis because those patients' conditions were misdiagnosed as retropharyngeal abscess (RPA). The purpose of this study was to differentiate KD with
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute, self-limited vasculitis of unknown etiology that occurs predominantly in young children (≤5 years of age). We herein report the case of an 18-year-old Japanese man with a history of incomplete KD during infancy; later, despite an initial diagnosis of

Although rare, perilous injury of the aerodigestive tract due to traumatic endotracheal intubation can have devastating consequences for patient and provider. Resulting serious complications of injury may involve esophageal perforation, pneumomediastinum, mediastinitis, retropharyngeal abscess,
OBJECTIVE
Retropharyngeal abscess formation has the potential for acute respiratory compromise from obstruction or secondarily from rupture. The initial attempt to secure the airway is of paramount importance. We describe a patient with an unstable cervical spine secondary to Pott's disease who

Non-traumatic atlanto-axial subluxation (AAS) is an uncommon complication of upper neck inflammatory processes and head and neck surgery. It is also known under the eponym of Grisel's syndrome (GS). We present a case report of a 6-year-old boy with GS that resulted from a retropharyngeal abscess. A

BACKGROUND
Overlooking an etiologic hypothesis in acute neck pain with dysphagia may lead to misdiagnosis.
METHODS
A 51-year-old man who had received cervical manipulation came to the emergency unit with evolutive acute neck pain, cervical spine stiffness and odynophagia, without fever or other
The acute onset of stridor in a young child usually represents viral croup, particularly during the fall and early winter. If the clinical picture is entirely consistent with this diagnosis and gas exchange is maintained, management with cool mist at home is appropriate. Rapid deterioration is
