Retropharyngeal abscess is a rare disorder usually seen in children as a result of upper respiratory tract infections. In adults, retropharyngeal abscess can occur as a result of local trauma (such as foreign body ingestion or instrumental procedures) and odontogenic infections. ⋯ Antibiotic therapy is a useful alternative treatment to surgery in the management of non-complicated retropharyngeal abscess.
