title: [Childhood laterocervical abscess fistulized in the pharynx: a case study].
abstract: Cervical adenophlegmon is frequently encountered in children. We report on a case of an exceptional direct communication between a retropharyngeal abscess and a cervical adenophlegmon, observed in a 25-month-old child. Treatment comprised double antibiotic therapy and retropharyngeal drainage, which led to the subsidence of the laterocervical abscess. The progression was uncomplicated.
