Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Post-operative haemorrhage is one of the commonest complications of tonsillectomy. We report a case of a 36-year-old lady who presented with three haemorrhagic episodes following tonsillectomy. Although initially treated as secondary tonsillar haemorrhage, the actual cause of the bleeding was later identified to be a duodenal ulcer. The case is presented with a review of the literature. |
