Özet

Objective: Albeit the traditional opinion that advocates a routine surgical drainage for the treatment of an abscess, the case series presenting high success rates of the medical therapy alone is increasing in deep neck abscesses of childhood. This research focuses on children whose deep neck abscess fully disappeared after only medical treatment.
