  • Otolaryngology
  • Anesthesiology

Background:

  • Acute upper airway obstruction is a critical medical emergency.
  • Angio-oedema is a potential cause of severe airway compromise.

Observation:

  • A case of acute upper airway obstruction secondary to angio-oedema is presented.
  • The patient experienced rapid-onset breathing difficulties.

Findings:

  • Emergency percutaneous tracheotomy was successfully performed to secure the airway.
  • This intervention provided immediate relief from the obstruction.

Implications:
