Abstract:
We report a previously undescribed complication of tracheal intubation. The complication arose as a result of tracheal intubation performed as an emergency procedure in a patient with an abnormal anteriorly placed larynx. Subsequent corrective laryngeal surgery was required after a temporary tracheostomy had been performed.
