Abstract

The uncommon occurrence of acute retropharyngeal abscess in adults can be the result of a retained foreign body. A large piece of wood impacted in the neck in a road traffic accident and presenting as retropharyngeal and bilateral parapharyngeal abscesses is reported for its rarity and clinical interest.
