title: [Retropharyngeal hematoma: a rare complication of coughing attacks].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To determine the diagnosis and treatment of a retropharyngeal hematoma.
  
  
  METHODS
  The authors report a case of retropharyngeal hematoma associated with increased intrathoracic pressure caused by coughing.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Retropharyngeal hematomas are usually spontaneously resorbed so the treatment is surveillance. Surgical drainage may be necessary. The causes, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and surgical indications are reviewed.
