Retropharyngeal Dissection during Nasotracheal Intubation: A Case Report / 대한구급학회지

ABSTRACT

Nasotracheal intubation is commonly performed for oropharyngeal or facial surgery. Although retropharyngeal dissection is a rare complication of nasotracheal intubation, serious sequelae may result. We report a case of a traumatic retropharyngeal dissection during nasotracheal intubation without untoward sequelae.
