Retropharyngeal abscess-like as an atypical presentation of Kawasaki disease : a case report and literature review
© 2023. The Author(s)..
BACKGROUND: Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic inflammatory condition primarily affecting young children. Although 90% of KD patients present with variable head and neck manifestations, especially cervical lymphadenopathy, peritonsillar, retropharyngeal and parapharyngeal involvement are uncommonly reported as initial manifestations of KD.
CASE REPORT: Eight-year-old girl with prolonged fever, clinical and a radiological picture suggestive of retropharyngeal abscess, unresponsive to three changes in the antibiotic regimen and surgical drainage. The disease progressed with the development of additional signs and symptoms as non-purulent conjunctivitis (with uveitis), mucosal involvement (strawberry tongue and cracked lips), edema of her hands and feet, and arthritis. A diagnosis of Kawasaki disease was reached with complete remission after Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatment. In addition, we present a literature review of similar cases reported in the last thirty years.
CONCLUSION: Kawasaki disease requires a high index of suspicion and awareness of unusual presentations. It should be kept in mind as one of the differential diagnosis of patients with febrile inflammation of the retropharyngeal and parapharyngeal spaces who do not respond to antibiotic treatment in the relevant clinical context.
