[Pharyngeal abscesses following tonsillectomy (author's transl)].
A few weeks after tonsillectomy two patients presented with recurring pharyngeal abscesses, and a fistula and a cyst were identified as the probable reasons for these. The embryology and differential diagnosis is discussed. The Grisel Syndrome and its presentation following tonsil remnant infection is demonstrated in another patient.
