Pharyngitis

Pharyngitis, also known as pharynx bursitis, nasopharyngeal fistula or nasopharyngeal cyst. Because Thornwaldt first reported the disease in 1885, it is also known as Thornwaldts disease. Pharyngitis is formed when the pharyngeal sac is infected or purulent. A pharyngeal sac abscess can rupture spontaneously to form a purulent fistula.
