A difficult intubation—Fatal respiratory arrest secondary to an oral epulis
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 June 2007
Abstract
We report an unusual case of cardio-respiratory arrest and eventual death secondary to a benign tumour of the oral cavity obstructing the oropharynx. We review the literature of similar occurrences causing difficulty with respiration and intubation, and highlight the importance of early diagnosis and treatment.
