Abstract
|
|
|
|
The lodgement of foreign material in the larynx is potentially life thereatening as complete obstruction of this region does not leave the individual with a viable airway. In the literature review, laryngeal foreign bodies accounted for about 3% of the whole foreign bodies in the air passage. This report describes a rare case of laryngeal obstruction by subglottic foreign body(tooth) occurred during tooth extraction, in which repeated Heimlich maneuver failed to expel the foreign body and aggravated airway obstruction.
