TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - A case of quinsy following high-pressure water jet injury JO - Irish medical journal A1 - Fitzgerald, C. A1 - Oosthuizen, J. C. A1 - O'Dwyer, T. SP - 178 EP - 178 VL - 107 IS - 6 N2 - High-pressure water injuries of the oropharynx are uncommon but can cause significant injury and airway compromise when they occur. A small number of cases of high-pressure water injury of the oropharynx have been presented in the literature, detailing a range of effects and outcomes. We describe the first reported case of high-pressure water injury of the oropharynx associated with peritonsillar abscess (quinsy) requiring surgical drainage.
