Cranial polyneuropathy secondary to retropharyngeal abscess in an adolescent: Multidisciplinary management and clinical resolution
Introduction
Cranial nerve deficits are a rare but described complication of infection in the deep spaces of the neck and their optimal management remains unclear.
Case report
We present the case and clinical resolution of a fifteen-year-old male with multiple cranial nerve deficits in the setting of a retropharyngeal abscess. Cranial nerve IX involvement was postulated based on gustatory testing and clinical resolution was achieved after surgical management.
Conclusion
We believe that this case underscores that cranial polyneuropathy associated with deep neck space infections should warrant a comprehensive approach with specific consideration for surgical decompression if maximal medical treatments fails.
