Abstract

Patient, 30-year-old, male,was admitted to our hospital because of discontinuously spit fresh blood without any inducing factors for three days. In the course, the patient suffered mild dry sensation of pharyngeal, poor spirit condition, fatigue, poor sleep, poor appetite and was with black stool 2 times. Physical examination: T36. 6°C, R 21/min, P98/min, BP135/90 mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa). Bilateral tonsils were III hypertrophy and with scar shape surfaces. The left tonsil's surface had longitudinal small blood vessels markedly dilated. His oropharynx, laryngopharynx and laryngeal did not be find any obvious bleeding sites. Laboratory findings: WBC 13.82 x 10(9)/L, N 0.8084, L 0.1632, Hb 81.00 g/L, HCT 25.20; PT 9.60 s, APTT 25.50 s, TT 15.80 s, FIB 1.900 g/L. After 3 hours of admission,the patient spit out fresh blood again,checked the body to see:the left peri-tonsil with fresh blood and found a slowly bleeding site at the 1/3 junction of the middle lower part of left tonsil's rear surface, the size was about 0.5 cm x 0.6 cm. We finally diagnosed spontaneous tonsillar hemorrhage and successfully managed with low-temperature radiofrequency technology.
