Uvular necrosis following endotracheal intubation

M A Krantz et al. J Clin Anesth. 1994 Mar-Apr.

Abstract

Uvular necrosis as a potential source of infection is a poorly detected complication that should be considered as part of the differential diagnosis of postoperative sore throat. We report a unique case of uvular necrosis following endotracheal intubation. The patient complained of a severe sore throat and foreign body sensation 48 hours following surgery.
