[A case report. Oral swelling and skin rash were not an allergic reaction].
Spontaneous sublingual hematoma is extremely rare. We describe a case with initial symptoms of an allergic reaction. The greatest risk is total airway obstruction. Conventional tracheal intubation can be very difficult. We describe a method of securing the airway by using a fiberoptic nasotracheal intubation approach.
