Neck abscess and deep neck infections(DNI) are considered as a serious disease. The neck abscess is known as a collection of pus in facial planes and spaces of the head and neck. DNI is classified according to the anatomical location of the infection. These are paraphryngeal, retropharyngeal and peritonsillar. Here we reported a 24 years old Saudi male known case of DM HTN and Sickle cell disease. Admitted through ER with a complaint of progressive painful right neck mass for 2 weeks. No radiation of pain, no relieving or aggravating factors, no previous episode, no history of trauma, insect bite or contact with sick person. Systemic review was unremarkable.
