ABSTRACT
Thermal burns of the larynx after swallowing hot foods or drinks are frequently common in children, but are known to be extremely rare in adults. We report the case of a male adult who, upon swallowing hot food, experienced a burn of the larynx with airway obstruction. Since airway obstruction usually occurs within hours of burn of the larynx, the importance of persistent airway management is emphasized in this case.
