Abstract:
Infections of aponeurotic sheets of the neck are more frequent in men than in women. Its etiology although varied is basically related to infectious pharyngo-tonsillar and dental pathology. In a great deal of cases there are factors which predispose clinical manifestations or becoming complications. Early diagnosis and precocious specific treatment re-establish the normality in the majority of cases but a percentage of them resort to surgery for the condition's control.
