Abstract
|
|
|
|
Lingual nerve palsy is a rare multi-etiological disease.Almost all devices used for airway manipulation can cause this complication, including laryngoscopes, laryngeal masks, cuffed oropharyngeal airways, tongue retractors, and suspension laryngoscopes.We report a case of transient lingual nerve palsy after general anesthesia, using orotracheal intubation, for surgery of a humerus fracture in the prone position.(Korean J Anesthesiol 2008; 54: 350∼2)
