“…1). Symptomatically, such injuries are indicated by hoarseness, dysphagia and chest pain, and the clinical diagnosis may be augmented by diagnostic imaging findings of retropharyngeal widening [3][4][5][6][7]. Although typically thought to be a result of hematoma or edema, the cause of the widening may not always be known and clinical management in many cases relies on the resolution of the diagnostic imaging findings.…”

Mechanical airway obstruction secondary to retropharyngeal bleeding is rare. In most cases such a complication is described after head and neck trauma. Complicating factors include anticoagulant therapy, tumour, aneurysm, infection or major cervical spine injury. A precise initial diagnosis is necessary to avoid a life-threatening situation. Lateral X-ray and computed tomography is essential for safe management.Treatment depends upon size of the haematoma as well as the clinical course of the patient. Smaller haematomas may be observed. Lager haematomas and those that fail to reabsorb should undergo drainage.
