We report a case of life-threatening airway obstruction due to retropharyngeal-cervicomediastinal hematomas following transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt or acute variceal bleeding in cirrhosis. Even though this is a rare complication, clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion and evaluate and treat it promptly to prevent a fatal outcome.
我们报告一例因经颈静脉肝内门体分流术或肝硬化急性静脉曲张出血后发生咽后-颈纵隔血肿导致危及生命的气道梗阻病例。尽管这是一种罕见的并发症,但临床医生应保持高度警惕,及时进行评估和治疗,以防止出现致命后果。
