A Different Use of Ultrasonography in Emergency Service; A Rare Sore Throat: Tongue Abscess

Abstract

Tongue abscesses are a sporadic disease that can present in different clinical presentations. The definitive diagnosis is made by seeing the purulent material in the drainage syringe because this procedure is painful; other diagnostic methods such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance are used as an aid. In our case, a 45-year-old male patient showed symptoms of sore throat and difficulty swallowing. The patient has had different pre-diagnosis in the clinics he visited before, but we were diagnosed with tongue abscess in our emergency department. The main purpose of presenting this case is that ultrasound is used to diagnose tongue abscess by emergency physicians in the emergency department for the first time in the literature as far as we know. This case offers a different approach for the clinical management of tongue abcesses.
