Central venous cannulation as a cause of upper airway obstruction

[摘要] Central venous cannulation via the internal jugular vein caused an unusual complication in a patient with a coaugulopathy. The formation of a non-clinically detectable haematoma, with secondary venous compression, resulted in the formation of glottic oedema, which caused significant upper airway obstruction.
