Bilateral peritonsillar abscesses. A 25-year-old male presented with a sore throat that did not respond to oral antibiotics. Axial MRI slices (a, T2-weighted Dixon in-phase; b, gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted Dixon water; c, apparent diffusion coefficient from diffusion-weighted imaging) demonstrated bilateral non-enhancing collections with restricted diffusion surrounded by abnormal tissue enhancement (arrows).
