Uvulitis and partial upper airway obstruction following cannabis inhalation.

Stephen H Boyce1, Michael A Quigley.   

Abstract

The use of cannabis in our society is a common problem and the subject of much medical and political debate. We present a case in which a 17-year-old male regular cannabis user developed a large swollen uvula (uvulitis) and partial upper airway obstruction after smoking cannabis. Symptoms resolved with the administration of corticosteroids and antihistamines.
