Abstract: This review was aim to overview the RH from different perspectives, we intended to discuss the complications and diagnosis procedures and risk factors associated with Spontaneous retropharyngeal hematoma and the treatment approaches. We conducted an electronic search of literature through several medical databases; MIDLINE/PubMed, and Emabse databases mostly for all studies concerning Spontaneous retropharyngeal hematoma, published in English language until December, 2016.The start of symptoms related to an acute retropharyngeal process in whom MR recommended a specific medical diagnosis of retropharyngeal hematoma. This potentially lethal condition can be hard to identify scientifically and by CT imaging. Retropharyngeal hematoma is an unusual disease, however might establish distant from a presenting injury and in the setting of typical coagulation and platelet function. Resultant dyspnea is an ominous indication of impending respiratory collapse and requires promptly protecting the airway. Concomitant spine injuries need to be sought and when present, might further make complex efforts at airway management. Spontaneous retropharyngeal hematoma (RH) is a rare cause of intense non-inflammatory neck swelling that may rapidly evolve to upper respiratory airway obstruction. The diagnosis is frequently postponed because of its rarity and the lack of objective indications and diagnostic lab data in the majority of cases.
