초록

Retropharyngeal abscesses are uncommon but potentially lethal infections, especially in the pediatric population. In adults, retropharyngeal abscesses are very rare and usually secondary to chronic tuberculous cervical spine osteomyelitis. Retropharyngeal tuberculosis can manifest itself as a cold abscess, and the symptoms and signs are usually influenced by its size and location. We present two cases of retropharyngeal abscess in adults without tuberculous cervical osteomyelitis.
