| الوصف: | We present a case of a 45-year-old male presenting with acute onset swelling on anterior aspect of neck, dysphagia and dyspnea. Clinical examination revealed bilateral submandibular space emphysema and retropharyngeal bulge. The preliminary diagnosis was made of an evolving deep neck space infection. Further, computed tomography (CT) of chest and neck was done which showed heterogenous collection in retropharyngeal space with air pockets and right-sided pleural effusion. Pleural tap was sent for cytology and adenosine deaminase (ADA) levels, which were found to be significantly raised. Thus, a final diagnosis of tuberculous pleural effusion was made and patient was started on anti-tubercular treatment. How to cite this article Chauhan A, Rajan S, Singh I.
