We have conducted a retrospective study of 110 patients with the diagnosis of deep neck abscess who had been seen between 1981 and 1990. Etiologic factors, common pathogens, and antimicrobial therapy were reviewed with reference to diagnostic methods of choice and management principles. The findings were compared with the literature. We have identified trends of change in the following aspects of deep neck abscess: cause, presentation, diagnostic methods, and bacteriology. Management principles of airway protection, intravenous antibiotics, and drainage have not changed.
