Abstract
The occurrence of airway obstruction following the posterior approach for cervical spine surgery is not widely recognised. This potentially disastrous complication should be anticipated and the anaesthetic management of airway should be planned accordingly. We present this case report of massive laryngeal oedema following an elective cervical spine decompression surgery via the posterior approach, which has been managed successfully.
