    Abstract:
    Lateropharyngeal phlegmons and abscesses are an uncommon complication actually but they are requiring an adequate knowledge to get later an adequate treatment. We are reporting a clinical review of 6 cases corresponding to adults admitted by our ENT service in 11 years period. Four were men and two women with ages between 21 and 92 years old. In most of them it was found a pharyngotonsillar focus and after the diagnosis they were treated by endovenous antibiotic therapy, corticoid and, in one case, surgery by incision and drainage. All the patients had a satisfactory evolution standing between 6-12 days in the hospital. We have performed a bibliographic review on this subject.
