A 46-year-old white male drug addict presented with a retropharyngeal space mass. Clinical examination was suggestive of an abscess which was confirmed by radiological examination which also showed contrast enhancement in the prevertebral and epidural space from the skullbase to the C5 level. The abscess was incised and antibiotics administered. The following year, atlantoaxial instability and a rotatory dislocation of C1 on C2 was found and two years after treatment a rotatory dislocation of C1 on C2 with a fusion between the skullbase, C1 and C2 was found, a complication not previously reported. His complaints at this stage consisted of L'Hermitte symptoms and severe limitation on head rotation.

A one-year-old crossbred ram presented for acute respiratory distress. Initial diagnostics revealed compression of the pharynx by a spherical, avascular mass. The ram was initially managed with a tracheostomy, antimicrobials and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories. Advanced imaging confirmed a pharyngeal abscess which was lanced via endoscopic-guided laser procedure. While synergistic haemolysin inhibition (SHI) testing was negative, Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis was cultured from the exudate, indicating a false negative result by the SHI test and the potential for a lack of reliability of this test in sheep with internal abscessation. Clinicians should be aware of the utility of diagnostic imaging as well as the use of endoscope-guided laser procedures in areas where traditional surgical approaches are challenging, such as the upper airway of sheep.
