“…Oropharyngeal abscesses are traditionally managed with a transoral approach but optimal techniques and postoperative management, particularly for recurrent abscesses, are lacking. 45 Established treatments are only available for recurrent abscesses that arise from congenital anomalies, such as branchial cleft anomalies 7 – 9 and pyriform sinus fistulas. 10 , 11 For these cases, surgical management of the underlying congenital anomaly successfully prevents further abscess recurrence.…”

Pharyngeal abscesses require urgent management as they have the propensity to cause severe and life-threatening complications. The introduction of antibiotics has led to a dramatic decline in the incidence of these infections. Regardless, abscess formation continues to be observed in the peritonsillar, parapharyngeal, and retropharyngeal spaces. Oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal abscesses that cause airway obstruction are scarcely reported and tend to be secondary to other processes. Herein, we describe the case of an 83-year-old man presenting with an idiopathic, obstructive, oropharyngeal wall abscess, extending from the infratonsillar region to the hypopharynx, which recurred after initial surgical management 12 years prior for the same process. He required reintervention during both episodes for rapid reaccumulation. A detailed electronic literature search of PubMed and MedLine was performed for studies reporting on recurrent pharyngeal abscesses and their management. Results were limited to articles published in English from inception to August 2021. The timely management of pharyngeal infections acutely obstructing the airway is crucial. Physicians should adopt close and frequent monitoring and have a low threshold for reimaging should symptoms worsen or fail to improve after the initial surgical intervention.

Backround Branchial cleft anomalies (BCA) can occur as sinuses, fistulas or cysts. They arise from the first, second, third or fourth pharyngeal cleft due to non-fusion or subinvolution. Mostly, located in Robbin’s neck-level II, BCA clinically present as a painless compressible swelling, cutaneous draining sinus, or fistula. Aims Surgical treatment is the gold standard to prevent recurrence in BCA, though the necessity of ipsilateral tonsillectomy is discussed and was being examined within this work. Methods In retrospect, data was collected from patients, that were admitted with the diagnosis BCA between 2006 and 2020 in an academic tertiary care center. 160 patients met inclusion criteria, the data was further evaluated, the focus was set on the occurrence of recurrence. Results Recurrence of BCA was observed in 2 out of 160 surgically treated patients (1,25%), one of them with simultaneous tonsillectomy, the other without. Conclusion A statistically significant difference in the recurrence-rate between these two groups (with/without tonsillectomy) could not be shown. The performance of an ipsilateral simultaneous tonsillectomy in the surgical workup of BCA cannot be recommended at the basis of our data.
