Peritonsillar abscess is a common presentation of complicated acute tonsillitis. The temporomandibular joint septic arthritis is an uncommon clinical entity while its complications are further rare. We present a case of a man in his late 30s who presented with a painful swelling in the left preauricular region along with increasing trismus. A diagnosis of peritonsillar abscess due to septic arthritis was made based on clinical history and examination. Patient recovered fully after antibiotic and abscess drainage. This is the first case report of temporomandibular septic arthritis leading to peritonsillar abscess.
扁桃体周脓肿是复杂急性扁桃体炎的常见表现。颞下颌关节化脓性关节炎是一种不常见的临床实体，而其并发症则更为罕见。我们报告了一例 30 多岁的男性患者，他的左侧耳前区域出现疼痛性肿胀，同时伴有张口困难加重。根据临床病史和检查，诊断为化脓性关节炎引起的扁桃体周脓肿。患者在接受抗生素和脓肿引流治疗后完全康复。这是首例颞下颌关节化脓性关节炎导致扁桃体周脓肿的病例报告。
