Abstract

Nowadays, we have been a steady increase in injuries as the social conditions of life and have changed. Statistically found that 54.0 % of people of car accidents have injuries to the head and neck. According to the literature, mortality in patients with neck injury which is complicating by pyoinflammatory persists up to 30.0-76.0 %. The management of neck trauma can be challenging and sometimes overwhelming, as this anatomical region contains many vital structures. These structures may pose a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma. Our research based on the results of diagnosis and treatment of 124 patients with a purulent mediastinitis, complicating traumatic injuries of the neck organs. Among these men – 92 (74.2 %), women – 32 (25.8 %). The results of treatment depend on timely diagnosis, hospitalization in a specialized compartment and conducting active surgical tactics
