Abstract

Bleeding tonsils Emergency tonsillectomy Pediatric spontaneous tonsillar hemorrhage
Since the advent of antibiotics, major spontaneous tonsillar hemorrhage is extremely rare. The majority of the spontaneous tonsillar hemorrhage events is associated with acute or chronic tonsillitis, coagulopathies, or tonsillar cancer. Here, we report a very rare case of spontaneous tonsillar hemorrhage in a 7 year old girl managed by emergency tonsillectomy and IV antibiotic with no complications.
