Abstract EN
Retropharyngeal abscess most commonly occurs in children.
When present in adults the clinical features may not be typical, and associated immunosuppression or local trauma can be part of the presentation.
We present a case series of five adult patients who developed foreign body ingestion trauma associated retropharyngeal abscess.
The unusual pearls of each case, along with their outcomes, are discussed.
Pertinent information for the emergency medicine physician regarding retropharyngeal abscess is presented as well.
