A 52-year-old female presented trismus as the initial symptom, and visited our outpatient clinic 6 days after the onset. The patient was diagnosed as suspected tetanus and admitted to hospital im-mediately. Convulsion occurred from the second day of admission and continued for 12 days.

The patient was successfully treated with tetanus antitoxin, a massive dosage of antibiotics, sedatives and conservative respiratory management without tracheostomy.

Tetanus is a serious disease resulting in death if suitable treatment is not given. Therefore, atten-tion should be paid to detect the initial manife-stations of tetanus in the otolaryngologic field.
