This chapter discusses the anaesthetic management of ear, nose, and throat surgery (otolaryngological surgery). It begins with a discussion of relevant general principles (including the shared airway) and covers airway obstruction and sleep apnoea. Surgical procedures covered include grommet insertion, tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, myringoplasty, stapedectomy, tympanoplasty, nasal cavity surgery, microlaryngoscopy, tracheostomy, laryngectomy, pharyngectomy (including glossectomy), radical neck dissection, and parotidectomy. It concludes with a series of vignettes of other ear, nose, and throat procedures.

Rare Occurrence

We present the case of a 50-year-old man who developed bilateral cortical blindness and confusion following a seemingly uneventful right-sided radical neck dissection. Computed tomography (CT) scans confirmed bilateral occipital lobe infarctions.To our knowledge, there are no previously documented reports of this clinical event following head and neck surgical procedures. Although this is a rare occurrence, otolaryngologists should be aware of this potential post-operative complication.The possible aetiologies of this condition are discussed.
