DEEP NECK INFECTION
Anatomy of cervical fascia Cervical fascia 1) Superficial cervical fascia 2) Deep cervical fascia
Superficial Cervical Fascia • Encircle H&N and attached to clavicle and zygomatic arch • Contain plastysma m. and external jugular v. • Marginal mandibular br. of facial n. lies just deep to superficial cervical fascia
Deep Cervical Fascial • Superficial layer • Middle layer • Deep layer
Superficial layer(Enveloping,Investing,Anterior layer) • From ligamentum nuchae, completely enclose the neck • Encircle trapezius m. , sternocleidomastiod m. • Encircle submandibular gl.,parotid gl.,masticater muscle • Create superficial sternal space (of Burn)
Middle layer(Cervical layer,Pretracheal layer) • Encircle strap m. (muscular division) • Encircle esophagus trachea,thyroid gl.,pharynx (visceral division) • Buccopharyngeal fascia ( part of visceral division that cover constrictor m. and buccinator m.)
Deep layer(Carpet fascia) • Cover vertebral body and paraspinous m. • Devided into 1. Alar division from base of skull to T2 level 2.Prevertebral division from base of skull to diaphram
Carotid sheath • Extend from skull base to clavicle • Made up of 3 layer of deep cervical fascia • Contain carotid a.,internal jugular v., vagus n. andsympathetic chain • Avenues for spread of infection from neck to mediastinum
Deep Neck Space Anatomy • Space Involving Entire Length Of Neck • Space Limited To Above The Hyoid Bone • Space limited To Below The Hyoid Bone
Space Involving Entire Length Of Neck • Retropharyngeal Space • Danger Space (Prevertebral Space) • Paravertebral Space • Carotid Sheath Space
Retropharyngeal Space • Between visceral division of middle layer and alar division of deep layer • Extend from skull base to T2 level • Midline raphae • More commom in children due to presence of retropharyngeal node
Danger Space • Betweenalar division and prevetebral division of deep layer (locate posterior to retropharyngeal space) • Extend from skull base to diaphram • No midline raphae • Infection spread from neck to posterior mediastinum easily
Paravertebral Space • Between prevertebral division of deep layer and vertebral bodies • Extend from skull base to coccyx • Infection in this space is rare and spread slowly due to compact connective tissue
Carotid sheath Space • Made up from all deep cervical fascia • Infection from any deep fascia can spread to this space (lincoln High way)
Space Limit To Above The Hyoid Bone • Parapharyngeal Space • Submandibular Space • Masticator Space • Temporal Space • Parotid Space
Parapharyngeal Space(Lateral phryngeal Space)(Pharyngomaxillaly Space) Boundary • Superiorly : Skull base • Inferiorly : Hyoid bone • Laterally : Medial pterygoid m. • Medially :Buccopharyngeal fascia • Anteriorly : Submandibular space • Posteromedialy : Prevertebral fascia and retrophryngeal space
Submandibular Space Divided into 2 spaces by mylohyoid m. • Sublingual space (above mylohyoid m.) • Submaxillaly space (below mylohyiod m.) • These 2 spaces can communicate each other by mylohyoid cleft
Masticator Space • Betweenmasticator m. and superficial layer of deep cervical fascia (Masticator m. = massestor m.,medial and lateral pterygoid m. and temporalis muscle) • Locate anterior and lateral to parapharyngeal space
Parotid Space • Between parotid gl. and superficial layer of deep cervical fascia • Infection can spread easily to parapharyngeal space due to incompleted encircle at upper inner surface of parotid gl.
Space Limit To Below The Hyoid Bone Anterior Viseral Space (Pretracheal Space) • Between trachea, esophagus and middle layer of deep cervical fascia • Extend from hyoid bone to superior mediastinum
Etiology Of Deep neck Space • Dental infection • Tonsillar and peritonsillar infection • Trauma of upper aerodigestive tract • Retropharyngeal lymphadenitis • Pott’s disease • Sialadenitis • Bezold’s abscess • Infection of congenital cyst and fistula • Intravenous drug abuse
PARAPHARYNGEAL SPACE INFECTION • Most common cause : Peritonsillar infection • Typical finding 1.Trismus 2. Angle mandible swelling 3. Medial displacement of lateral pharyngeal wall Others : fever, limit neck motion,neurologic deficit (C.N 9,10,12,Horner’s syndrom)
PARAPHARYNGEAL SPACE INFECTION Treatment • Evaluate and maintain airway & fluid hydration • Parenteral antibiotic high dose 24-48 hrs. • If not improve, consider surgical drainage
PARAPHARYNGEAL SPACE INFECTION Surgical drainage • Intraoral approch (for peritonillar abscess only) 2.External approach -transverse submandibular incision -T. shape incision (Mosher)
SUBMANDIBULAR SPACE INFECTION Most common cause : Dental caries • Anterior teeth & first molar : infection enter sublingual space • Second & third molar : infection enter submaxillary space
SUBMANDIBULAR SPACE INFECTION • Organisms - Mixed of aerobes(alpha hemolytic strep, staph) and anaerobes make synnergistic effect of endotoxins - Consider gram – in immunocompromize host
SUBMANDIBULAR SPACE INFECTION Clinical feature (True Lugwig’s angina) • Start unilateral and progress bilaterally • Induration of submandibular region and floor of mouth ( severe cellulitis) • Tongue trusted posteriorly and superiorly (cause airway obstruction) • Drolling, odynophagia, trismus, fever • No purulence(due to no time to developed)
SUBMANDIBULAR SPACE INFECTION Treatment • Early stage (unilat,mild swelling and edema) -IV antibiotic, extration of infected tooth • Advance stage (bilateral swelling, dysphagia with drolling) -early airway intervention -surgical drainage (submandibular incision)
RETROPHARYNGEAL SPACE INFECTION PREVERTEBRAL SPACE INFECTION Most commmon cause • In children -retropharyngeal lymphadenitis from nose,PNS,ET) • In adult -regional truma and endoscopic procedure
RETROPHARYNGEAL SPACE INFECTION PREVERTEBRAL SPACE INFECTION Clinical feature • In children irritability,neck rigidity, fever,drolling,muffle cry, airway compromise • In adult fever, sore throat, odynophagia, neck tenderness, dysnea
RETROPHARYNGEAL SPACE INFECTION PREVERTEBRAL SPACE INFECTION Clinical feature • Retropharyngeal space abscess form abscess lateral to midline • Prevertebral space abscess form abscess in midline • Mediastinitis S&S Dysnea,chest pain, tachycardia, fever,wideded mediastinum
RETROPHARYNGEAL SPACE INFECTION PREVERTEBRAL SPACE INFECTION Investigation • Lateral neck film - C2 > 7 mm. both children and adult - C7 > 14 mm. in children > 22 mm. in adult. • Chest film - detection of mediastinitis
RETROPHARYNGEAL SPACE INFECTION PREVERTEBRAL SPACE INFECTION Treatment Surgical drainage • Intraoral drainage -Lesion confined in larynx esp.child • External drainage (Dean) -Lesion beyond pharyngeal level -Airway compromise -Involve other deep neck spaces
PARAVERTEBRAL SPACE INFECTION • Most common cause Penetrating trauma(F.B, endoscope) TB spine • Infection spread slowly and more localize due to compact CNT. Clinical feature -Same as others posterior space abscess -Vertebral osteomyelitis and spinal instability
MASTICATOR SPACE INFECTION • Most common causeDental carices Clinical feature • Extream trismus with minimum facial swelling • Massesteric space (lateral compartment) : edema at ramus of mandible - Ptrygomandibular space (medial compartment): edema at retromolar trigone
MASTICATOR SPACE INFECTION Treatment 1.Intraoral drainage (medial compartment) - along inner margin of mandibular ramus to the retromolar trigone • External approch (lateral compartment) - submandibular incision - preauricular incision or Gilles incision for temporal space abscess
PAROTID SPACE INFECTION • Most common cause : Bacterial retrograde from oral cavity Clinical feature • high fever, weakness, mark swelling and tenderness of parotid gland,fluctuation,pus at stensen’s duct
PAROTID SPACE INFECTION Treatment • IV ATB • Surgical drainage indicated for -fluctuation -medical failure after 24-48 hr. or progression of disease
COMPICATION OF DEEP NECK INFECTION • Internal jugular vein thrombosis • Cavernous sinus thrombosis • Neurologic deficit • Osteomyelitis of the mandible • Osteomyelitis of the spine • Mediastinitis • Pulmonary edema • Pericarditis • Aspiration • Sepsis
