Cleft tongue and ulceration of hard palate: complications of oral intubation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a prospective study of the complications of endotracheal intubation and tracheotomy, we encountered an unusual complication of oral intubation. This report describes a 32-year-old man who sustained laceration and cleft of the tongue and ulceration of the hard palate as a result of the use of an oral airway in conjunction with oral intubation.

متن کاملCase report of Pierre Robin sequence with severe upper airway obstruction who was rescued by fiberoptic nasotracheal intubation
BACKGROUND Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) refers to the association of micrognathia, glossoptosis, and airway obstruction. Cases with severe dyspnea due to upper airway obstruction immediately after birth are very rare. We here report two cases with PRS who developed severe dyspnea due to morphological abnormality immediately after birth and were rescued by fiberoptic nasotracheal intubation. CA...

متن کاملThe inductive role of Wnt-β-Catenin signaling in the formation of oral apparatus.
Proper patterning and growth of oral structures including teeth, tongue, and palate rely on epithelial-mesenchymal interactions involving coordinated regulation of signal transduction. Understanding molecular mechanisms underpinning oral-facial development will provide novel insights into the etiology of common congenital defects such as cleft palate. In this study, we report that ablating Wnt ...
