We present two cases of serious deep neck abscess. Case 1 was a 60-year-old female with mediastinal abscess secondary to deep neck abscess complicating chronic hepatitis C during interferon treatment. Case 2 was an 81-year-old female with extensive deep neck abscess, and during treatment she was discovered to have diabetes mellitus. Computed tomography was most useful in both diagnosis and conducting post-operative observation. Surgical drainage in combination with intravenous infusion of appropriate antibiotics improved the abscess in both cases.
