A 35-year-old man has been delivered into a surgical ward with a suppurating wound in the neck, anterior to trachea (previsceral space). If a surgical operation is not performed urgently, there is a risk of infection spreading to:
- A. Retrovisceral space
- B. Thoracic cavity - posterior mediastinum
- C. Interaponeurotic suprasternal space
- D. Thoracic cavity - anterior mediastinum
- E. Thoracic cavity - middle mediastinum
Hint
Follow the fascial space lying in front of the trachea downward and ask into which part of the chest it is continuous at the root of the neck.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
