The cold abscess which results from tuberculous glands is to be distinguished from that due to disease in the cervical spine, retro-pharyngeal abscess, as well as from congenital and other cystic swellings in the neck. Prognosis.
Possibly it was only a case of angina Ludovici, or retro-pharyngeal abscess. To know accurately the anatomical changes that take place in disease is of importance both for diagnosis and for treatment.
The retro-pharyngeal glands lie on each side of the median line upon the rectus capitis anticus major muscle and in front of the pre-vertebral layer of the cervical fascia. When they are infected with pyogenic organisms or with tubercle bacilli, they may lead to the formation of one form of retro-pharyngeal abscess.
