Özet
We describe a rare case of a bilateral peritonsillar cellulites (PTC). The clinical presentation of fever, trismus and odynophagia was consistent with PTC, more evident on the right side; but the presence of bilateral tonsillar swelling and midline uvula confounded the diagnosis. In spite of the throat examination was performed with a great difficulty due to trismus, the T2 weighted fat saturated STIR magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided us to make the diagnosis and to start the intravenous antibiotic treatment immediately.
