Abstract
|
|
|
Arytenoid cartilage dislocation is a very rare complication of endotracheal intubation. This change can occur as a result of compressing the cryco-arytenoid joint by inflated cuff of endotracheal tube.
A 21-year old male, ASA physical status I with chronic otitis media underwent tympanoplasty with mastoidectomy. Anesthesia was induced with thiopental-succynylcholine and was maintained with nitrous oxide-oxygen-enflurane. On the first
postoperative
day, the patient dislocated under indirect laryngoscopy. Five days postoperatively, endoscopic reduction was performed under direct laryngoscopy, thereafter his symptom gradually disappeared.
