An ultrasound examination in a 18-month old boy with sudden respiratory obstruction revealed a huge parapharyngeal abscess which was confirmed via magnetic resonance tomography and on operation. Even in young infants high resolution sonography can nicely visualize neck pathology and should therefore be integrated in the diagnostic workup of undefined symptoms of upper respiratory tract obstruction.
