Upper airway obstruction following endotracheal intubation and anesthesia, though infrequent, is widely investigated and reported. Of the reports in which the sites of the lesions are adequately documented, 3 describe supraglottic edema as the principal lesion. Such a lesion which appeared following anesthesia in a young woman is herein reported. A new mechanism is described for this pathologic condition.
