This case history deals with an 85-year-old patient who underwent surgery to treat rhinoliquorrhea. The patient aspirated a lutescent fluid shortly after anesthesia was administered. However, this fluid was not gastric juice but cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) running down the nasopharynx. The CSF had been stained with fluorescein prior to surgery in order to help localize the CSF fistula. This case of top down aspiration is discussed and preventive measures which can be employed in order to avoid similar complications in patients with rhinoliquorrhea are presented.
本病例报告涉及一名85岁接受手术治疗鼻漏的患者。患者在麻醉给药后不久吸入了一种淡黄色液体。然而,这种液体并非胃液,而是经鼻咽部流下的脑脊液(CSF)。术前脑脊液已用荧光素染色,以帮助定位脑脊液瘘。本文讨论了这种自上而下的误吸情况,并提出了可用于避免鼻漏患者发生类似并发症的预防措施。
