Although unilateral peritonsillar abscesses (PTA) are a common complication of acute bacterial tonsillitis, bilateral PTA are quite rare. We present the case of a 14-year-old female teenager with a 1-week history of acute tonsillitis.

The majority of the cases diagnosed as peritonsillar abscess (PTA) occurred from age 12 to 18 years. Trismus was the only complaint that was statistically associated with PTA. Uvular deviation combined with trismus was also important in differentiating PTA from PTC.

Currently there is no agreement on the treatment of patients who develop a peritonsillar abscess (PTA). This lack of consensus results in highly variable and possibly expensive therapeutic regimens that may not provide optimum quality patient care at reasonable cost.

In group A, CT with contrast enabled differentiation of PTA from peritonsillar cellulitis in all 13 cases (100%) and demonstrated abscesses in 11 patients (85%), thereby allowing drainage at first attempt.

Objective This study was performed to determine whether the efficacy and safety of medical management of uncomplicated peritonsillar abscess (PTA) presenting in the emergency department is equivalent to medical plus surgical therapy.
