Abstract

Acute supraglottitis or epiglottitis is regarded as one of the feared pediatric emergency. With the advance in immunization, it is now less frequently seen in the group however there is an increase incidence in adult. Abscess formation following an acute episode of supraglottitis is uncommon but carries a significant morbidity and mortality. We present three cases of acute supraglottitis complicated by deep neck abscess. All of the patients required incision and drainage under general anesthesia with two of them required both intraoral and external approaches to drain the abscess. All of the patients recovered well postoperatively.
