We report on a case of lingual tonsillar hyperplasia contributing to refractory obstructive sleep apnea in a 5-year-old patient. We describe a novel technique utilizing suspension laryngoscopy and a laryngeal angled shaver to remove obstructive lingual tonsillar tissue. We review the available techniques for lingual tonsillectomy and propose theoretical advantages to the novel approach.
我们报告了一例5岁患者因舌扁桃体增生导致难治性阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停的病例。我们描述了一种利用悬吊喉镜和喉角形剃须刀切除阻塞性舌扁桃体组织的新技术。我们回顾了现有的舌扁桃体切除术技术,并提出了这种新方法的理论优势。
