Idiopathic spontaneous tonsillar haemorrhage
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 June 2007
Abstract
Since the advent of antibiotics major spontaneous tonsillar haemorrhage is extremely rare. The causes are usually ascribed to vessel wall erosion secondary to bacterial infection or infectious mononucleosis. We report the case of a 20-year-old female, presenting to the ENT department with tonsillar bleeding in the absence of any identifiable infective or traumatic process.
