title: [Post-tonsillectomy peritonsillar abscess].
abstract: Quinsy cases following tonsillectomy are very rare indeed, as proved by the scarce publications related to the subject. And all of them presented after a long term of years elapsed. From the perusal of the bibliography done by the AA. none of the cases presented close to the operation. The chance to see and treat one case starting from the fourth postoperative day compelled the AA. to report it.
