Use of Navigation System in the Management of Deep Neck Space Infection-A Case Report

Area of Science:

• Otolaryngology
• Medical Technology
• Pediatric Surgery

Background:

• Deep neck space infections are critical Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) emergencies.
• Accurate diagnosis and minimally invasive techniques are crucial, especially in pediatric cases.

Purpose of the Study:

• To explore the utility of Navigation Systems (NS) in managing deep neck space infections.
• To highlight the importance of NS in pediatric retro pharyngeal abscess (RPA) management.

Main Methods:

• Case study of an 11-month-old infant with a retro pharyngeal abscess.
• Utilizing a Navigation System (NS) for surgical guidance.

Main Results:

• The Navigation System (NS) facilitated precise localization of the retro pharyngeal abscess (RPA).
• NS assisted in avoiding iatrogenic injury during the procedure.

Conclusions:

• Navigation Systems (NS) are valuable tools in managing pediatric deep neck space infections.
• NS enhances surgical precision and safety in treating retro pharyngeal abscess (RPA) in infants.
