AB  - The  advent  of  advanced  imaging  and  powerful  antimicrobial  therapy  has  allowed  more  deep  neck  space  infections  to  be  managed  with  medical  therapy  alone.  However,  detailed  knowledge  of  the  neck  spaces  and  fascial  planes  is  mandatory  in  order  to  predict  patterns  of  spread  and  the  possible  effects  on  surrounding  structures.  In  addition,  detailed  knowledge  is  required  should  surgical  intervention  prove  necessary.  The  goal  of  surgery  for  deep  neck  space  infections  is  to  stop  the  progression  of  disease  while  preserving  normal  vital  structures.  With  the  rise  of  resistant  organisms  such  as  methicillin-resistant  Staphylococcus  aureus  (MRSA),  surgery  will  continue  to  remain  a  critical  component  in  the  management  of  deep  neck  space  infections.
