ABSTRACT

Abstract: Eleven years old children, proposed for resection of pylocitic astrocytoma of cerebellum, presented with lingual tonsil hypertrophy causing a unpredictable difficult airway approach. The presence of a lingual tonsil hypertrophied isn't diagnosed most of the times, with their occurrence being associated with previous tonsillectomy in more than half of the cases. Its occurrence, and non-identification, can originate scenarios of difficult airway approach, with a higher morbility association.


Resumen: Niño con 11 años, propuesto para exéresis de recidiva de astrocitoma pilocítico del cerebelo con hipertrofia de las amígdalas linguales a condicionar vía aérea difícil no previsible. La hipertrofia de las amígdalas linguales es subdiagnosticada y se suele asociar a amigdalectomía previa en más de la mitad de los casos. Su ocurrencia y no reconocimiento, puede originar situaciones de vía aérea difícil, con alta morbilidad asociada.
