Abstract

Swelling and elongated uvula and vocal cord paralysis are very rare complications of general anesthesia. This report illustrates that these rare complications might occur together after general anesthesia. An adult male patient was operated for glomus tumor in left hand middle finger and six hours after the operation acute respiratory distress was diagnosed. There was no drug allergy in his medical history and breathing difficulty had not been observed after the operation which had been performed under general anesthesia ten years ago. Medical therapy with dexamethasone combined topical epinephrine was applied and complete recovery was obtained without surgery.

Özet

Şişmiş ve uzamış uvula ve vokal kord paralizisi genel anestezinin çok nadir komplikasyonlarıdır. Bu rapor, bu nadir komplikasyonların genel anestezi sonrasında birlikte oluşabildiğini göstermektedir. Yetişkin bir erkek hasta sol el orta parmaktaki glomus tümörü için ameliyata alındı ve operasyondan altı saat sonra akut solunum sıkıntısı tanısı konuldu. Tıbbi öyküsünde hiçbir ilaç alerjisi yoktu ve on yıl önce genel anestezi altında yapılan operasyon sonrası soluma zorluğu gözlenmemişti. Topikal epinefrin ile kombine olarak deksametazon ile medikal tedavi uygulandı ve cerrahi olmaksızın tam iyileşme elde edildi.
