The trachea of an 81-year-old woman was intubated with an orotracheal tube for emergency abdominal surgery and the tube was left in place for postoperative management on the Intensive Care Unit. After 36 h, she developed apparent massive tongue swelling. On closer examination, a normal sized tongue was found to be displayed by oedema of the floor of the mouth and submandibular space, secondary to purulent sialadenitis from right submandibular duct obstruction by the tracheal tube.
一名81岁女性因急诊腹部手术经口气管插管，术后在重症监护病房留管。36小时后，她出现明显的舌体巨大肿胀。进一步检查发现，因气管导管阻塞右侧下颌下腺导管，继发脓性涎腺炎，导致口底和下颌下间隙水肿，舌体大小正常但被衬托得肿大。
