Trakeo-Özofageal Fistüllü Bir Laringeal Web: İnce Bir Buz Üzerinde Paten Yapan Anestezist

Subglottik laringeal web ile birlikte trakeoözofageal fistül (TÖF) nadir görülen bir durumdur. Çoğu zaman TÖF varlığında laringeal web tanısı atlanır ve entübasyon girişimleri sırasında saptanır. Yenidoğan yaşı, TÖF ve laringeal web üçlüsü, en deneyimli anestezistlerde bile hava yolunun güvenliğinin sağlanamamasına bağlı olarak gelişebilecek mortalite ve morbidite nedeniyle endişe yaratabilir. Bu olgu sunumunda, laringeal webi olan bir yenidoğanda hava yolu yönetimi deneyimimizi paylaştık.

A Laryngeal Web with Tracheo-Esophageal Fistula: Anaesthesiologist Skating on a Thin Ice

Tracheo-esophageal fistula (TEF) in association with subglottic laryngeal web is a rare entity. Often the diagnosis of laryngeal web in the presence of TEF is missed and it is identified during intubation attempts. The triad of neonatal age, TEF and laryngeal web can even cause the most experienced anaesthetists concern about the mortality and morbidity that may develop due to the inability to secure the airway. In this case report, we aimed to share our experience on the airway management of a newborn with laryngeal web.
