Abstract
Deep neck space infections are commonly seen and managed across various medical and surgical specialties. Common presentations permit straightforward management but still pose the risk of severe complications sometimes even with appropriate management. This article emphasizes the anatomic and physiologic process to heed when managing children with deep neck infections. The roles of radiography and medical versus surgical management are discussed.
