ABSTRACT
Deep neck infections affect fascial compartment of head and neck and their contents, lead to critical complicatons. Recently, we have preferred percutaneous abscess darinage(PAD) to traditional surgical methods of incision and open drainage. Because we can obtain precise information of abscess site, size, morphology, and around anatomical structures using ultrasonography and computerized tomographic scan(CT), and also we can perform exact, less invasive and minimally destructive drainage of abscess and avoid general anethesia. Authors have experienced two cases of deep neck infection and one case of sublingual cyst which was treated by ultrasonographic guided percutaneous with insertion of pig-tail catheter. So we reported three cases with literature review.
