Summary

Peritonsillar abscess (PTA) is the collection of purulent material between the fibrous capsule of the tonsil and the pharyngeal constrictor muscles. PTA is a very common complication of acute tonsillitis and is considered to be the most common deep space infection of the head and neck. Unilateral presentation of this condition is relatively common, while bilateral involvement is quite rare. In this article, we present the case of a patient with bilateral peritonsillar abscesses treated surgically by bilateral tonsillectomy.
