ABSTRACT
Tuberculous spondylitis, also known as Pott's disease, is a disease involving the spine with progressive destruction. It most commonly involves the thoracic and lumbosacral spine and may result in severe deformity or neurologic deficit. Although cervical spine involvement is rare, it can cause life threatening event. Recently, 70-year-old man presented with progressive dyspnea and dysphagia. Physical examination and radiologic studies showed a huge retropharyngeal abscess with bony erosion and sclerotic change at the adjacent cervical spine. After incision and drainage, it was finally confirmed as a tuberculous abscess. Herein, we report our experience with literature review.
