Neck Abscess

Neck abscesses in the deep neck tissues are difficult to diagnose, localize, access, and manage. The anatomy of the neck is complex and contains several important vessels and nerves, as well as structures critical to the functioning of the airway and gastrointestinal system. The affected tissues may be deep and impossible to palpate or visualize externally. Nearby structures can become involved in the inflammation and lead to neurovascular, bony, or airway issues. This activity examines when neck abscesses should be considered in differential diagnosis and how to evaluate them properly. This activity highlights the role of the interprofessional team in caring for patients with neck abscesses.
