Complications from DNI (descending mediastinitis, sepsis, thrombosis of the internal jugular vein, pneumonia, and pleuritis) were evaluated in both groups and compared. Associated comorbidities (cardiovascular involvement, hepatopathy, diabetes mellitus respiratory involvement, gastroduodenal involvement) were reviewed. <\/br><\/br> <b>Results:<\/b> Five hundred and forty-four patients were analyzed; 350\/544 males (64.3%) and 19\/544 females (35.7%). There were 505\/544 cases (92.8%) with an odontogenic origin and 39\/544 cases (7.2%) with a tonsillar origin of DNI. Complications occurred more frequently in the group with tonsillar origin of DNI (P < 0.001). There was no difference in diabetes mellitus between the two groups. <\/br><\/br> <b>Conclusions:<\/b> Currently, the tonsillar origin of DNI occurs much less frequently; nevertheless, it carries a much higher risk of developing complications than cases with an odontogenic origin. We recommend that these potentially high-risk patients with a tonsillar origin of deep neck infections should be more closely monitored.\n\n<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5604\/01.3001.0015.3431","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,16]],"date-time":"2022-03-16T13:25:42Z","timestamp":1647437142000},"page":"42-45","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Tonsillar origin of deep neck infection as a negative prognostic factor for developing complications"],"prefix":"10.5604","volume":"76","author":[{"given":"Petr","family":"Matou\u0161ek","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospital Ostrava, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lenka","family":"\u010c\u00e1balov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospital Ostrava, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Debora","family":"Form\u00e1nkov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospital Ostrava, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lucia","family":"Stan\u00edkov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospital Ostrava, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Petr","family":"\u010celakovsk\u00fd","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospital Hradec Kr\u00e1lov\u00e9, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jan","family":"Mejzl\u00edk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospital Hradec Kr\u00e1lov\u00e9, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Viktor","family":"Chrobok","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospital Hradec Kr\u00e1lov\u00e9, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pavel","family":"Kom\u00ednek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospital Ostrava, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"3689","reference":[{"key":"222148r1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Hansen B.W., Ryndin S., Mullen K.M.: Infections of deep neck spacec.
