Post-intubation long-segment tracheal stenosis of the posterior wall: a case report and review of the literature

In the operating room, unanticipated difficult intubation can occur and anesthesiologists can experience challenging situations. Undiagnosed tracheal stenosis caused by congenital factors, trauma, tumors, or post-intubation injury, can make advancing the endotracheal tube difficult. We present an adult patient in whom we were unable to pass an endotracheal tube into the trachea. This was caused by undiagnosed congenital mid-tracheal stenosis with complete tracheal rings. When faced with an unanticipated difficult airway, the anesthesiologist needs to comprehend the results of preoperative evaluations. If an unusual situation (e.g., congenital tracheal stenosis) occurs, active cooperation with other departments should be considered.

Review Of The Literature

AbstractObjective:We report a case of cholesterol granuloma of the petrous apex which was surgically treated via an endoscopic trans-sphenoidal approach.Methods:Case report and review of the literature concerning cholesterol granulomas of the petrous apex and their management.Results:The lesion was approached endoscopically via a bilateral sphenoidotomy with removal of the vomer. A large cholesterol granuloma was evacuated and marsupialised. The patient made an uneventful recovery.Conclusion:Trans-sphenoidal access to the petrous apex represents an alternative route for the drainage and ventilation of cholesterol granulomas. This approach is the technique of choice when the cholesterol granuloma abuts the posterior wall of the sphenoid sinus. The trans-sphenoid approach, unlike other lateral approaches to the petrous apex, spares cochlear and vestibular function and allows post-operative endoscopic follow up.

Rare Tumors

Gastric teratomas are extremely rare tumors. A six year old boy presented with abdominal mass. Ultrasound of abdomen showed mixed echogenic lesion. CT scan showed a mass with solid and cystic components and internal calcifications. At operation a tumor arising from the posterior wall of the stomach was found. It was exogastric as well as endogastric in location. Histopathological examination revealed a mature teratoma.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/birdem.v2i2.12329(Birdem Med J 2012; 2(2): 121-123)
