Soft Tissue - Peritonsillar Abscess
Caption
Some people like to know what they're aiming at before they stick needles in the back of people's throats. You can use an endocavitary probe for an intraoral approach... to make sure it's not just cellulitis. Your patient will thank you. As with any abscess, look for a relatively hypoechoic circumscribed area representing a collection of fluid. Sukh Singh, MD Caption: Matthew Riscinti, MD
