Özet
A two-year-old girl patient, who presented to another center with three months of sore throat and one month of neck swelling with pain, was initiated antibiotherapy but no healing was achieved. Afterwards, the patient was directed to our clinic and an abscess was detected in magnetic resonance imaging extending in both lateral spaces of the neck. The patient was performed surgical drainage urgently. The wound was dressed with rifampicin and the patient was started parenteral antibiotherapy. A dramatic recovery was observed and no complication occurred in the patient.
