Abstract
We report an atypical case of sudden and unspecific cervical cellulitis in a 74 yaers old woman with psoriasis as the only remarkable antecedent. After the initial exploration and successive ones we did not find any etiological causes for her symptoms. CT showed an increase of soft parts on the left side of the neck with displacemnet of the upper airway without purulent collection or abscess. The patient was admitted in IUC and was treated endovenously with cloxaciline and imipenem with good response and satisfactory evolution.
