Abstract

A 41-year-old man visited our clinic with the chief complaint of considerable trismus and swelling on the right parotid region following a tooth extraction. Clinical examination such as CT, MRI-CT and fine needle aspiration biopsy revealed abscess formation in the right parapharyngeal space. The patient was treated by antibiotics administration, heat therapy and draining the abscess by intraoral and extraoral incision. He was discharged on the 56th hospital day.
