Abstract
Most complications from general anesthesia are thought to be minor and require no specific treatment. Throat pain after general anesthesia is a relatively common complaint. However, uvular necrosis is an unusual complication after intubation that has been rarely reported. We describe a case of a 22-year-old man who presented with uvular necrosis 4 days after undergoing general anesthesia.Entities:
