• Descending necrotizing mediastinitis describes an infection with its origin from a head and neck source, most commonly an oropharyngeal or odontogenic focus, which then spreads in the fascial spaces of the head and neck and descends downward into the mediastinum.
• Patients usually have experienced and present with symptoms and signs of an oropharyngeal/odontogenic infection and fever.
• Neck and chest pain together with dyspnoea are other potential findings.
• Prompt surgical management is indicated including systematic debridement of affected tissue and broad opening of involved fascial spaces.
