Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Parapharyngeal abscess in an infant is a very rare condition. We present the case of a 4-month-old girl with large masses on the neck's left side. Computed tomography showed an extensive parapharyngeal abscess. Left tonsillectomy was performed under general anesthesia from a transoral approach, followed by an incision and evacuation of the abscess from the parapha ryngeal space. Microbiological analysis identified a massive occurrence of Streptococcus intermedius. PMID:34714174 | DOI:10.1177/01455613211049854 View on the web Inoreader. Take back control of your news feed.
