The case is presented of a patient in whom, because of a bleeding submental arterio-venous haemangioma both external carotid arteries were ligated. IPPR via an endotracheal tube was required for 18 hours after operation. Local necrosis of the tongue developed as a result of pressure from the endotracheal tube. The patient became symptomfree after necretomy of the tongue.
