A case is presented of massive bleeding from a vessel in the vallecula. This was confused with haemoptysis and haematemesis. The bleeding may have resulted from trauma to the vessel during intubation for emergency surgery. 25 units of blood were transfused before the site of the bleeding was identified and controlled by diathermy coagulation.
