ABSTRACT
Tonsillectomy, with or without adenoidectomy, remains the most frequently performed surgical procedure by otolaryngologists. Postoperative hemorrhage, which is classified as primary (24 h) hemorrhage, is recognized as a rare but potentially life-threatening complication. Although most oral bleedings occuring after tonsillectomy are considered as post-tonsillectomy hemorrhages, there could also be other origins such as gastrointestinal hemorrhage. We recently experienced a case of gastrointestinal hemorrhage that was misdiagnosed as secondary post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage. We report this case with a review of the literature.
