This case report demonstrates the use of a video laryngoscope to aid in the incision and drainage of a peritonsillar abscess in a 30-year-old male. This technique, which has not been widely discussed in the literature, provided enhanced visualization, overcoming challenges like poor access due to trismus and poor lighting. The video laryngoscope improved safety, offered clearer guidance, and provided valuable teaching opportunities, particularly for less experienced physicians and residents. This case contributes to the literature by illustrating how the video laryngoscope can function as both a therapeutic tool and an educational resource, improving the management of peritonsillar abscesses and potentially reducing complications.

本病例报告展示了在一名30岁男性患者中使用视频喉镜辅助扁桃体周围脓肿切开引流的情况。这种技术在文献中尚未得到广泛讨论，它提供了增强的视野，克服了诸如牙关紧闭导致的操作空间受限和照明不佳等挑战。视频喉镜提高了安全性，提供了更清晰的引导，并提供了宝贵的教学机会，特别是对于经验较少的医生和住院医师。本病例通过说明视频喉镜如何既可以作为治疗工具又可以作为教育资源，改善扁桃体周围脓肿的管理并潜在地减少并发症，为文献做出了贡献。
