Abstract

Tracheal intubation is a common procedure during General Anesthesia. It consists in introducing a probe into the trachea. This simple act remains not without risks. Various incidents and complications have been described due to this procedure. Among these is granulomas. Different factors and mechanisms are responsible for these complications. The prolongation of the intubation especially in intensive care remains the main causative factor of the development of granulomas, on the other hand this complication remains infrequent in anesthesia. The main clinical signs are dyspnea or a change in voice. Surgery is often required. Through two clinical cases of granulomas developed after surgery, the authors discuss the mechanisms and requirements for anesthetic management of this type of complication.
