OBJECTIVES: Cervical @entity2688 is infrequent but serious. The aim of our study was to describe the way we care and to identify certain factors that promote the development of such a condition. @entity1 AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study covering the period 2004 to 2009 and included @entity1 with @entity3799 with or without mediastinal extension surgically supported by ENT department of the University Hospital of Dijon. Data were collected clinical, radiological, treatment, type of surgery and complications. RESULTS: Seventeen @entity1 met our inclusion criteria, four of which had a form associated with @entity1764 . Eight @entity1 had taken NSAIDs and/or corticosteroids and fifteen patients antibiotics before their hospitalization. All have benefited from surgery with an average of 1.35 interventions (range 1 to 3) and support postoperative resuscitation. In both cases the outcome was unfavourable. CONCLUSION: The use of NSAIDs and/or corticosteroids was a factor in promoting this type of @entity281 . In the context of surgical treatment, it does not seem necessary to surgically reoperate systematically.
