ABSTRACT: Spontaneous
retropharyngeal haematoma is an unusual condition and difficult to diagnosis
early especially in infants. It has multiple aetiological factors and can present
to a number of specialists including the otolaryngologist. We
describe an unusual case of a spontaneous huge retropharyngeal haematoma in 1-year-old
male child which demonstrates the dramatic presentation and emphasizes the need
for immediate surgical approach.
