CT neck demonstrates a fluid collection within the medullary cavity underlying teeth 37 and 38. There is an abscess in the left submandibular space extending into the parapharyngeal space causing marked mass effect on the oropharynx and to a lesser extent the nasopharynx. The collection also extends inferiorly deep to the hyoid bone into the paraglottic space causing mass effect on the epiglottis and effacement of piriform sinus.
