Unexpected laryngeal lesion in an expected difficult airway
Abstract
According to clinical guidelines, a difficult airway is a clinical situation in which an expected or unexpected difficulty in management is encountered or this difficulty and failure is experienced by an anesthesiologist. These situations are difficulties and failures encountered in face mask ventilation, laryngoscopy, ventilation with supraglottic airway equipment, tracheal intubation, extubation or invasive airway. We presented a 47-year-old male case, who was admitted to our center with the diagnosis of Type 1 aortic dissection and who eventually underwent emergency tracheostomy due to difficult airway, in the light of the literature.

Keywords : Aortic dissection, difficult airway, laryngeal lesion, tracheostomy
