Abstract
The present study found, that often, the diagnosis and treatment of neck abscesses in paediatric patients is not straightforward, but can achieve a favourable outcome. The primary location of the ANI appears to vary in different paediatric age groups. Younger age, presence of multiple abscesses or a palpable cervical mass on admission, were associated with prolonged hospitalization. Presence of toothache and neck pain on admission was identified as possible predictors of complications.
