Neck inflammation symptoms are common in patients with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-c), with retropharyngeal edema being a documented issue in at least 9 cases.
We defined the prevalence of neck pain, trismus, or dysphagia (28.4%) and retropharyngeal edema (2.9%) among 137 patients with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-c). Retropharyngeal edema or phlegmon has been documented radiologically in at least 9 children. Symptoms of neck inflammation are common in MIS-c.
