In dealing with this case of cystic hygroma a non-routine intubation was expected and some of the possible problems anticipated. However, the unusual nature of the difficulty encountered was not initially apparent and presented special problems, both with initial and subsequent management of the patient. The presence of a primary laryngeal condition in this case presented another life-threatening feature. Not only was the airway narrowed, but intubation could not be easily achieved and the possibility of haemorrhage into the respiratory tract existed. The outcome of the case reflects the high mortality associated with this essentially benign condition.
在处理这例囊状水瘤病例时，预计会进行非常规插管，并预见到了一些可能出现的问题。然而，最初并未明显看出所遇到困难的特殊性质，这给患者的初始治疗及后续治疗都带来了特殊问题。该病例中存在原发性喉部疾病，这又呈现出另一个危及生命的特征。不仅气道变窄，而且插管不易成功，还存在呼吸道出血的可能性。该病例的结果反映出这种本质上为良性疾病所伴有的高死亡率。
