Unusual Situation

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.

Long Acting

Several cases of pulmonary embolism (PE) have been associated with antipsychotic treatment. We report a case of an otherwise healthy 27-year old male who developed a PE after receiving paliperidone long acting injection. The patient received risperidone long acting injection for over 3 months before initiating paliperidone, but was switched incorrectly. After 3 weeks on paliperidone long acting injection the patient developed a PE requiring hospitalization and a course of anticoagulation. A review of atypical antipsychotic-induced venous thromboembolism is discussed.
