A Case of Intralaryngeal Metallic Foreign Body which Penetrated by Transcutaneous Route
초록
Laryngeal foreign bodies are not common among the foreign bodies of aerodigestive tract. It is relatively easy to diagnose in acute phase of entry because of a readily\ulcorner available history of intake, and signs or symptoms referable to the foreign body in the highly sensitive air passage. However, on occasion, sudden death by respiratory failure occurs due to complete obstruction of airway. Therefore, it is common and safe to remove the laryngeal foreign bodies by suspension laryngoscope under general anesthesia after tracheostomy. Recently, the authors experienced a case of metallic foreign body in larynx penetrating neck, which was removed by suspension laryngoscope under general anesthesia without any life threatening complication.
