Abstract

Despite of incidence of Deep Cervical Abscess (DCA) has decreased mainly for the availability of antibiotics, this infection still occurs with considerable frequency and can be associated with high morbidity and mortality. Material and method: Retrospective and descriptive study analyzed 11 patients between 2013-2017 in Puerto Real Hospital diagnosed with deep neck infections who had undergone surgical treatment and intravenous antibiotic with systematic review in the last 5 years. Results: There was a predominance in males (81.82%) and an average age of 52.82 years. Odynophagia was the most frequent symptom at the time of diagnosis followed by cervical pain. Tonsillitis in 55% and odontogenic infection (37%) were the most frequent etiologies. Polymicrobial was the most common bacteriology treated with clavulanic amoxicillin in 45.5%. Average of hospitalization days was 9.64 days. Diabetes and smoking were the most frequent comorbidities. Pleural effusion and mediastinitis were the most frequent complications, tracheotomy was required in 63.6%. 45.5% of patients were reoperated. In 54.5% multiple type of abscess was associated. Conclusions: The presence of multiple synchronous abscesses should be valued. Surgery and adequate antibiotic are the basis of the treatment. Immunocompromised or diabetic patients have more torpid evolution.
