Braz J Otorhinolaryngol. 2024;90:101360
Highlights

  • Deep neck abscesses are one of the most dangerous emergencies in otolaryngology.

  • The principal complication in deep neck abscesses is airway obstruction.

  • It is difficult to predict which patients will require Advance Airway Management.

  • Some factors have been used to create scales to stratify the risk of complications.

  • The benefit of a risk scale is to prevent requirement of advanced airway management.
