Abstract
We report a case of upper airway obstruction as a result of delayed macroglossia in a 17-year-old patient following posterior cranial fossa surgery performed with the patient in a sitting position. Airway obstruction is a life-threatening complication and must be treated promptly. Diverse etiological mechanisms are discussed, along with preventive and therapeutic measures.Entities:
