Infratemporal Fossa Abscess Drainage via a Trans-Oral Image Guided Approach

©Copyright 2023 by Turkish Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Society / Turkish Archives of Otorhinolaryngology is published by Galenos Publishing House..

Deep neck space infections can cause antibiotic-resistant abscesses that can impinge on vital anatomical structures. Image-guided surgery systems using preoperative computed tomography (CT) imaging can be utilized to characterize pathology and assist surgeons in avoiding iatrogenic injury. This manuscript explores the presentation and unique CT-guided surgical management of an infratemporal fossa abscess in a 48-year-old male who presented with left-sided dental pain and facial swelling that had progressed despite antibiotics and dental extraction. CT-guided imaging can assist in localizing and protecting vital anatomical structures during deep neck abscess drainage and can prevent the potential risks and complications of classic surgical approaches.
