Reinke oedema is a benign condition due to fluid collection within subepithelial space of the true vocal fold. This phenomenon is predisposed by chronic smoking, alcohol consumption and contribution of laryngopharyngeal reflux. Although benign, it may be life threatening when bilateral vocal folds are affected causing airway obstruction. In this report, awake tracheostomy was performed for a 65- year- old lady with stridor secondary to severe Reinke oedema. The importance of establishing a definitive airway is highlighted here in securing a difficult airway.

任克水肿是一种良性病症,由真性声带上皮下间隙积液所致。这种现象因长期吸烟、饮酒以及喉咽反流而诱发。尽管是良性的,但当双侧声带受累导致气道阻塞时,可能会危及生命。在本报告中,为一名65岁患有严重任克水肿继发喘鸣的女性实施了清醒气管切开术。在此强调了建立确定性气道对于确保困难气道安全的重要性。
