Retropharyngeal tuberculous abscess: a rare cause of upper airway obstruction and obstructive sleep apnea in children: a case report

AY Weldetsadik, A Bedane… - Journal of Tropical …, 2019 - academic.oup.com
Retropharyngeal tuberculous abscess (RPTBA) is a rare manifestation of tuberculosis (TB)
even in high TB burden areas. It rarely manifests as a cause of upper airway obstruction and
obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children with few case reports in the literature. We report a
22 months old toddler who presented with upper airway obstruction and OSA and was
diagnosed with RPTBA. The child recovered completely and growing normally after intra-
oral aspiration and 6 months of anti-tuberculosis treatment.
