Peritonsillar abscess is the most frequent complication of a tonsillar infection. The purulent material can spread from peritonsillar space to the fascial neck spaces. These deep neck infections may be a life threatening complication. The correct treatment of these infections is an appropriate antimicrobial therapy and abscess drainage, most of the times by surgery. We present a clinical case of a large perypharyngeal, and parotid abscess originated from a peritonsillar abscess. It was necessary surgical treatment to drain it. |
