Airway obstruction due to a rigid cervical collar.

N S Kreisler1, M E Durieux, B F Spiekermann.   

Abstract

Airway obstruction after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a potentially life-threatening postoperative complication. We experienced a case of airway obstruction after an ACDF attributable to the rigid cervical collar used in the patient's postoperative care, which has not been reported previously.
