Submandibular neck mass in a newborn.

Submandibular neck mass in a newborn. Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2017 Oct;30(4):461-462 Authors: Skoog H, Clark DW Abstract A deep neck abscess is uncommon in the newborn period. In this case, we noted a clindamycin-sensitive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection characterized as a deep neck abscess in an 8-day-old boy. He was admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit with a progressively enlarging indurated mass below the mandible. Imaging confirmed the mass as a submandibular abscess. The patient received antibiotics in addition to incision and drainage, with resolution of the abscess. PMID: 28966467 [PubMed]
