Actinomycosis abscess of the thyroid gland

OBJECTIVES: To present an unusual case of actinomycosis abscess of the thyroid gland as well as review the history, etiology, pathogenicity and treatment of actinomycosis infections of the head and neck. STUDY DESIGN: Case study. METHODS: A report of a 39 year-old female status post tooth extraction that developed an actinomycosis abscess of the thyroid. RESULTS: After a thyroid actinomycosis abscess was suggested by physical exam, ultrasound, CT scan and needle aspiration, an otolaryngology consult was obtained. The patient successfully was managed with thyroidectomy and intravenous ceftriaxone. CONCLUSIONS: Although Actinomycosis soft tissue infections of the head and neck are relatively uncommon, the head and neck surgeon must include it in the differential diagnosis when clinical presentation raises suspicion. Early biopsy is necessary for appropriate identification of the organism with the appearance of sulfur granules lending a clue to the diagnosis. Debridement and/or excision are often necessary for antibiotics to be used successfully. Antimicrobial therapy should be used for six to twelve months to completely eradicate the disease and prevent recurrence.     

Submasseteric abscess

The masseteric space is an important tissue compartment of the neck, but disease in it is difficult to diagnose and treat. In this paper a case of a young adult male with an abscess of the submasseteric space is presented. Diagnosis was established by computed tomography (CT) of the neck, but the severity of the lesion was not accurately estimated. Surgical intervention was performed and a large quantity of pus was drained. A detailed medical history and clinical examination of the patient as well as CT are important tools in the accurate diagnosis and efficient treatment of the disease.     

Four cases of acute epiglottitis with a peritonsillar abscess

We report four cases of acute epiglottitis with a peritonsillar abscess originating from the inferior pole of the palatine tonsil. All cases were male, and presented with acute onset of sore throat and dysphagia. Flexible laryngoscopy revealed swollen epiglottis and swelling at the base of tongue along the edge of the epiglottis in all cases. Computed tomography (CT) revealed the position and extent of a peritonsillar abscess. Surgical drainage was not performed. Abscesses decreased in size following intravenous antibiotics and corticosteroids. We surmise that inflammatory exudates extending widely in the pre-epiglottic space cause epiglottic swelling from oropharyngeal infection, the latter of which is thought to produce a peritonsillar abscess. We recommend CT examination for patients with a stable airway and swollen epiglottis, even if the swelling is mild. This will allow for exclusion of deep neck abscess and determination of the most effective treatment including intravenous antibiotics against anaerobe, incision and drainage of an abscess.     

Retropharyngeal abscess: An unusual presentation of Kawasaki disease. Case report and review of the literature

We report the case of a patient with Kawasaki disease whose initial presentation mimicked a retropharyngeal abscess and review the literature of this topic (16 cases reported). Fever and deep neck infection like symptoms were the only clinical findings at admission in 87.5% children. All children had a neck CT scan performed showing findings suggestive of retropharyngeal abscess. All children were started antibiotic therapy without clinical improvement and 31% of patients underwent unproductive surgical drainage of the retropharyngeal space. Otolaryngologist should be aware of atypical presentation of Kawasaki disease presentation mimicking retropharyngeal abscess. Early diagnosis is pivotal for preventing cardiac complications and avoiding the risk associated to unnecessary surgical intervention.

Cervical abscess caused by Salmonella infection

A 69-year-old man had an abscess in the neck caused by Salmonella hador (enteritidis) infection. Salmonella infection of the head and neck are rare, and often occur in association with Salmonella infection in other parts of the body. The patient described may have had seeding to the neck from previous gastrointestinal infection. Treatment by drainage of the abscess and oral administration of ampicillin was successful. To the authors' knowledge, this is the sixth case of pure Salmonella infection of the head and neck reported in the world literature.     

Parapharyngeal abscess: comprehensive management protocol

Parapharyngeal infections are rare, but they cause serious morbidity and mortality. Therefore, until now, the recommended treatment of parapharyngeal abscess has been early open surgical drainage. The purpose of this study is to review the clinical course and outcome of treatment in parapharyngeal abscess according to method of treatment. A prospective study was designed for parapharyngeal abscess in patients admitted for deep neck infection. During an 8-year period, from June 1994 to January 2003, 34 patients were enrolled. All had contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) imaging and confirmation of an abscess in the parapharyngeal space. All patients were treated with intravenous antibiotics. We treated 19 cases (conservative group) with antibiotics only or needle aspiration and 15 (surgical group) with intraoral or external drainage. The mean duration of hospitalization was 8.2 days in the conservative group and 11.6 days in the surgical group. There was no complication except mediastinitis in 1 case of the conservative group. Because of severe dyspnea, 5 patients required tracheotomy. Neck CT scan is a useful diagnostic tool to detect and establish the treatment plan of parapharyngeal abscess. Parapharyngeal abscess may, in some cases, respond to antibiotics, become localized to the parapharyngeal space and be treated conservatively with no need for early open surgical drainage.     

A case of spinal epidural abscess associated with retropharyngeal abscess

Spinal epidural abscesses are known to occur associated with retropharyngeal abscess, but such cases are few in the literature. We treated a 72-year-old woman who reported pain in the back of the neck. Computed tomography (CT) showed a retropharyngeal abscess extending to the upper neck through the carotid space on the left side and an magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a spinal epidural abscess without cervical vertebral osteomyelitis. The abscess was assumed to reach the epidural space along the nerve root through the intervertebral foramen. Since tonsillitis appeared to cause the retropharyngeal abscess, we performed tonsillectomy, and then drained pus through the superior constrictor muscle, effecting a subsequent cure. Staphylococcus aureus was recovered from both the pus and tonsil, and Streptococcus constellatus, a member of the Streptococcus milleri group, from the tonsil. Based on a review of the literature, clinical courses of spinal epidural abscess associated with retropharyngeal abscess are not always simple, as 4 of the 7 cases found demonstrated poor prognosis. Spinal epidural abscess should be considered a critical complication of retropharyngeal abscess.     

Laryngeal carcinoma presenting as a large anterior neck abscess

Laryngeal carcinoma presenting as a cervical abscess is rare, so that its diagnosis is not easy. We described a case of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma presenting as a prelaryngeal large abscess. Markedly swollen false vocal fold inhibited fiberscopic examination of the vocal folds. CT scan indicated destruction of the thyroid cartilage. Although biopsies from the abscess did not reveal malignancy, laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma was confirmed by laryngomicrosurgery with laryngeal vestibulectomy. The patient was treated by total laryngectomy with neck dissection followed by radiotherapy. The abscess was thought to be formed not by direct extension and necrosis of the tumor, but by the leakage of air and mucus through the fistula on the destroyed thyroid cartilage. Precise observation and biopsy under directscopic vestibulectomy played an important role in diagnosis of malignancy inherent in severe inflammatory tissues.
