The authors present a case report of a 73-year-old male on dual antiplatelet therapy with a retropharyngeal hematoma after a motor vehicle accident. We highlight the clinical, radiographic manifestations, and surgical management of retropharyngeal hematomas, especially on an initially asymptomatic patient. Additionally, we demonstrate the importance of establishing a secure airway early on, and multidisciplinary collaboration to maximize patient outcomes.
