Neck abscess and deep neck infections(DNI) are considered as a serious disease. The neck abscess is known as a collection of pus in facial planes and spaces of the head and neck. DNI is classified according to the anatomical location of the infection. These are paraphryngeal, retropharyngeal and peritonsillar.
