Contrast enhanced CT scan of the neck shows a heterogeneously enhancing soft tissue measuring approximately 7 x 4 x 3 cm in the retropharyngeal space involving the undersurface of epiglottis, aryepiglottic folds, pyriform sinuses, Posteriorly, it involves the cervical esophagus and extends along its length upto the mediastinum. There is central necrotic component with air foci. There is erosion of the posterosuperior aspect of the cricoid cartilage. The supraglottic airway is compromised.
