An unusual complication of chemotherapy: an abscess in the pterygopalatine fossa.

A M Lale1, P J Jani, P D Ellis.   

Abstract

Abscesses of the pterygopalatine fossa are extremely rare. The cases reported in the literature are all secondary to dental or periodontal disease. We present a case of an abscess in this site which was a complication of chemotherapy and was the result of haematogenous spread.
