경부 심부 농양의 초음파 유도하 흡인 및 배농 = Ultrasonography Guided Percutaneous Aspiration and Drainage of Deep Neck Abscesses

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Background and Objectives：For abscesses in the head and neck, traditional open surgical incision-and-drainage procedure
may incur added morbidity and result in disfiguring scars. Therefore, a noninvasive alternative to open surgical drainage may be
quite beneficial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of percutaneous ultrasonography-guided aspiration and
drainage in the management of the selected head and neck abscesses. Subjects and Method：Retrospective review was done
for 12 patients with unilocular or multilocular abscess sized 2 cm or more in the greatest in different locations and origins. All
patients did not present imminent airway compromise and subsequently underwent ultrasonography guided aspiration and
drainage. Results：All of the abscesses were resolved in 11 patients within 10 days. Even multilocular abscesses were resolved
without open surgical drainage. One abscess in which Mycobacterium tuberculosis was isolated persisted more than 3 weeks in
spite of ultrasonography guided aspiration and drainage, and resolved by antituberculosis medication of more than 10 months.
Conclusion：Percutaneous ultrasonography-guided aspiration and drainage is a safe and effective procedure, for the abscesses
in the head and neck without life threatening conditions.
