과비음을 주소로 내원한 후인두의 결핵 1예 = A Case of Retrophareangeal Tuberculosis Presenting as a Hypernasal Speech

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Tuberculosis of the retropharynx is extremely rare. The diagnosis is frequently delayed because of its anatomical location and atypical symptom. It would be crucial to consider tuberculosis infection as a possible source of abscess and should be mindful about the tests to diagnose it. We experienced a 23-year-old man with retropharyngeal abscess caused by tuberculosis presenting hypernasality and hoarseness in the throat. In this article, we reviewed the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of this case, with a review of literatures.
