TORRES MONTES DE OCA, Amy; PUENTE TELLEZ, Hugo y RAMIREZ LOPEZ, Beatriz. Anesthesiological contradiction in a pregnant woman with pleomorphic adenoma and allergy to local anesthetics. Rev cuba anestesiol reanim [online]. 2021, vol.20, n.2 Epub 01-Jul-2021. ISSN 1726-6718.
Introduction:
Adenoma of soft palate is frequent in women, together with the physiological changes that occur during pregnancy. The pregnant woman is to be presumed to have a difficult airway.
Objective:
To describe the airway managment in a pregnant woman with adenoma of soft palate.
Case presentation:
This is a 20-year-old pregnant woman (Mallampati IV) with a personal pathological history of bronchial asthma and allergy to local anesthetics, who presents an adenoma of soft palate that avoids seeing the oropharynx structure, announced for emergency surgical procedure for an anterior segmental cesarean section.
Conclusions:
The pregnant woman has a higher incidence of difficult airway compared to the general population, due to the physiological changes that she presents in this period. If, apart from this situation, the presence is considered of an oropharyngeal tumor that makes it impossible to manipulate the airway, preoperative assessment and tracing a multidisciplinary strategy are the pillars to avoid potentially fatal complications.
