ABSTRACT
Tuberculosis of the retropharynx is extremely rare. The diagnosis is frequently delayed because of its anatomical location and atypical symptom. It would be crucial to consider tuberculosis infection as a possible source of abscess and should be mindful about the tests to diagnose it.

In this article, we reviewed the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of this case, with a review of literatures.
