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.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessbilateral peritonsillar cellulitis (PTC)trismusT2 weighted fat saturated STIR magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)Article263121139114110.1007/s00405-006-0109-82-s2.0-3375069698616804718Q1WOS:000241796100015Q3
