| Popis: | From 1993 through 1999, 26 children with retropharyngeal abscess and 2 children with acute epiglottitis were cared for by pediatric otolaryngologists in northern Virginia. Fever, sore throat, dysphagia, refusal to swallow, dysphonia, drooling, and neck extension are common presenting signs and symptoms in acute epiglottitis and in retropharyngeal abscess. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the oropharynx was performed in all cases and was the most helpful diagnostic test. |
