Abstract

Background: Retropharyngeal abscess (RPA) is a serious deep neck space infection that can lead to life-threatening complications such as airway obstruction, mediastinitis, and sepsis. The Trendelenburg position, where the patient's head is lower than their feet, has been traditionally used in the management of RPA to prevent aspiration of pus in case of abscess rupture. However, the optimal positioning for patients with RPA remains a topic of debate. Case presentation: A 51-year-old male patient presented to the emergency room with a 5-day history of progressive dysphagia and neck swelling. He was diagnosed with a ruptured retropharyngeal abscess extending to the mediastinum (descending necrotizing mediastinitis). The patient underwent surgical drainage and was subsequently admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), where he was intubated and mechanically ventilated in the Trendelenburg position. Five days later, the patient developed pneumonia, suspected to be ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Conclusion: The Trendelenburg position may be considered in the management of RPA to minimize the risk of aspiration. However, it is essential to weigh the potential benefits against the risks, including VAP, and to consider alternative positions such as the lateral Trendelenburg position, which may offer similar benefits with reduced risk. Further research is needed to determine the optimal positioning strategy for patients with RPA.

Abstract

Background: Cleft palate is a pervasive congenital craniofacial anomaly characterized by the failure of palatal shelf fusion, resulting in a persistent communication between the oral and nasal cavities. While developed healthcare systems mandate repair between 9 and 12 months, delayed presentation in adolescence remains a distinct clinical entity in developing regions. These cases are surgically complex due to maxillary skeletal maturity, tissue fibrosis, and wider cleft gaps compared to infant cases. The primary surgical objective is to seal the defect and restore the velopharyngeal sphincter to prevent hypernasality. This study evaluates the efficacy and physiological advantages of the Furlow double opposing Z-plasty technique in a high-risk delayed primary repair scenario. Case presentation: We report the management of a 14-year-old male presenting with an uncorrected non-syndromic incomplete cleft palate. Preoperative assessment revealed severe hypernasality and audible nasal air emission. Clinical examination confirmed a Veau Type I defect confined to the soft palate with a bifid uvula. Primary palatoplasty was executed using the Furlow technique. The procedure successfully recruited lateral tissue for palatal lengthening and achieved transverse muscle reorientation without the need for lateral relaxing incisions. Conclusion: The intervention resulted in complete anatomical closure with no evidence of wound dehiscence, hemorrhage, or oronasal fistula formation. The Furlow technique proved to be a feasible and safe modality for Veau Type I defects in adolescents, effectively addressing the vertical pharyngeal gap and restoring the sphincter mechanism's anatomy.
