Purpose: The results of surgical treatment for acute suppurative
cervical lymphadenitis in children were evaluated with literature reviews.
Methods: Children under 15-year old who required operative management
for acute suppurative cervical lymphadenitis between January 1996 and
December 2000 were evaluated with retrospective manner. The clinical
characteristics, pathologic results and microbiologic studies were reviewed.
Results: 37 patients were treated with surgical methods. 36 patients
recovered fully after surgical intervention without any recurrence and one
patient expired of sepsis. Conclusion: The classical treatment,
incision and drainage, is one of the treatment of choice for the recovery
from suppurative cervical lymphadenitis in children.
