Popis:	We report two cases of retropharyngeal abscess. One patient was a 16-year-old female with pharyngeal swelling and severe neck pain. Local findings demonstrated swelling of the posterior wall on the right side of the pharynx. CT showed low-density mass in the retropharyngeal space. We performed surgical drainage and antibiotic therapy. The other patient was a 19-year-old female with a sore throat and right cervical pain. Local findings demonstrated swelling of the posterior wall on the right side of the pharynx. CT identified a low-density mass with ring enhancement on the right side of the retropharyngeal space. We performed surgical drainage and antibiotic therapy. In both cases anaerobic bacteria were detected.
