Introduction: Post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (PSGN) is a classic immune-mediated renal complication that typically arises 1 - 2 weeks after a streptococcal throat infection. While it is most commonly observed following pharyngitis or skin infections in children, its occurrence in association with deep neck infections, such as retropharyngeal abscess, is extremely rare. Conclusions: This case highlights an unusual presentation of PSGN in association with a retropharyngeal abscess in an older child. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for post-infectious glomerulonephritis in children presenting with acute kidney injury and deep neck infections, even beyond the typical age range for retropharyngeal abscesses.
