Abstract

Uvular necrosis is an uncommon but startling complication of manipulation of the posterior oropharynx, either via instrumentation or direct suctioning. Here, we present a patient who developed uvular necrosis after an urgent intubation. Although the uvular necrosis self-resolved via the auto-amputation of the uvula, the change to the uvula was emotionally distressing to the patient. As symptoms typically develop one to two days after the initial injury to the uvula, this diagnosis may be seen in the emergency department, rather than in the inpatient hospital setting.

Topics: ENT, uvular disorders, complications of intubation, uvular disease.

术后小舌插管后坏死1例报告。
小舌坏死是一种不常见但令人吃惊的并发症操作后口咽,无论是通过器械或直接吸引。在此,我们报告一位在紧急插管后出现小舌坏死的病人。虽然小舌坏死通过小舌的自动截肢而自行消退,但小舌的改变使患者在情绪上感到痛苦。由于症状通常在小舌初次损伤后一至两天出现,这种诊断可能在急诊科看到,而不是在住院医院环境中。主题:耳鼻喉科,小舌疾病,插管并发症,小舌疾病。
