摘要：

An 18-year-old male patient presented with fever and cephalgia 1 week after wisdom tooth extraction on an outpatient basis. While clinical examination was without pathologic findings the computed tomography (CT) scan indicating a right-sided retropharyngeal abscess. Surgical exploration was performed but failed to detect any foci and a deep biopsy was taken. Postoperatively, the patient showed unclear severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) accompanied by persistent lung failure which ultimately lead to lung transplant listing (high urgency). The patient spent several months in the intensive care unit (ICU) under maximum surveillance including several weeks on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and gradually recovered.
