摘要
Uvular necrosis is a rare post-procedural complication thought to be caused by mechanical compression of the uvula during endotracheal intubation. We described the day-to-day progression of uvular necrosis after right shoulder acromioclavicular (AC) joint reconstruction. We present a case of a 22-year-old male who visited the emergency department after sustaining a right shoulder trauma. Diagnosis of a type V AC dislocation with total coracoclavicular ligament tear was established. On day one, after endotracheal intubation for the right shoulder AC joint reconstruction, the patient complained of severe throat pain that progressed to odynophagia, dysphagia, and choking. Examination revealed an erythematous uvula with well-demarcated necrotic tissue. He was managed conservatively with acetaminophen and ice chips. Day-today symptom progression description may guide physicians in managing postoperative uvular necrosis.
