Sasaki says that, while peritonsillar abcess is generally recognized as the result of spread of infection through the tonsillar capsule into the areolar space which is situated between this ca-psule and the superior constrictor muscle, yet, in practice with tonsillectomies on abcess cases the attempt in reaching the abcess cavity by dis-secting along the outer side of the capsule will be met with a great difficulty or practically imp-ossible.

Strong adhesions to the surrounding tissues at this area will not permit it. From the fact that the enclosed pus will be freed only when the ca-psule is incised; and the tonsil removed in this condition will invariably present its parenchyma on the surface that has been facing the abcess cavity, it is inferred that the site of the ab-cess might be intra-capsular, This assumption is proven to be correct by histological studies on tonsils that were removed in 9 cases during the abcess stage. In spite of the fact that acute ton-sillar abcess and peri-tonsillar abcess are both recognized and differentiated by numerous auth-ors as two separate entities, the author regrdas them as identical affliction, the acute tonsillar abcess. A change in the term to that effect is also proposed.
