Abstract
|
|
|
Deep neck infection is an infectious disease that involves in several parts of the neck spaces. It can be accompanied
by severe complications such as airway obstruction, deep vein thrombosis and sepsis. Therefore, proper management
at initial step is essential for morbidity of patients. Surgical treatment is indispensable in the case of large amount of abscess formation, no response to antibiotic treatment, or poor clinical progression despite of empirical antibiotics therapy. However, a surgical approach can cause not only the injury of carotid artery, jugular vein, cranial
nerve, esophagus, salivary gland but also scar formation of skin. We report a case of a 36-year-old female patient successfully treated deep neck infection with ultrasound-guided central venous catheter insertion without
scar.
