Abstract
We present a case of a 9-year-old patient with previously undiagnosed lingual tonsil hypertrophy (LTH) that caused sudden and complete airway obstruction and inability to ventilate on induction of anesthesia. More frequently described in adults than in children, LTH can complicate mask ventilation, intubation or both, with the potential for catastrophic consequences.
摘要
我们报告一例9岁患者，其先前未被诊断出患有舌扁桃体肥大（LTH），该疾病导致在麻醉诱导时突然出现完全气道阻塞且无法通气。舌扁桃体肥大在成人中比在儿童中更常被描述，它会使面罩通气、插管或两者都变得复杂，有可能导致灾难性后果。
