Özet

Objective: Deep neck infections (DNI) are infections that occur in potential cavities surrounded by the cervical fascia located on the neck. DNI is rarerly seen in childhood but carries a risk of serious morbidity and mortality. In treatment modalities, antibiotics can be used with or without surgery. In this study, we aimed to investigate children and adolescent cases with DNI and to compare patients who underwent surgery with those who did not.
