Abstract
Kawasaki disease (KD), a condition primarily affecting infants and young children,
is commonly encountered by physicians nowadays. However, large retropharyngeal swelling
in the presence of KD is rarely reported in literature. In this report, we present
a 9-month-old female with KD mimicking retropharyngeal abscess, with review of seven
previously published case reports.
