[Diagnosis of deep head and neck infections with the aid of CT-scanning: report of a case].
A case with masseteric and temporal abscess formation is reported in which the use of CT-Scanning is demonstrated. We believe that CT is a valuable adjunct in confirmation of the presence of an abscess in the deep head and neck spaces and for CT guided aspiration of purulent material, in order to have the possibility of a culture prior to the drainage of the abscess.
