開口障害を主訴とせる歯性扁桃周囲炎及び膿瘍症例

　Ⅰ．緒言

　扁桃周囲炎は多くは急性扁桃炎に継発するが，私共は智歯及び第Ⅱ大臼歯抜歯による，歯性扁桃周囲炎並びに膿瘍の各2例を経験したので報告する。

Two cases of peritonsillar abcess appeared to be the result of contiguous infection flared from the removal of molar tooth. Such abce-sses are of spontaneous occurence in many cases but still in many others dental surgery may be the cause. With the use of antibio-tics in the latter case complication such as peritonsillar abcesses may be readily obviat-ed.
