[Oropharyngeal ulcers following anaesthesia with the laryngeal tube S].
We report a case of acute tongue and uvula ulcerations consecutive to the use of a laryngeal tube Sonda (LTS) for airway management. The LTS was used during general anaesthesia for hysteroscopy and resection of endometrial hyperplasia. No trouble occurred during LTS insertion and anaesthesia. Symptomatic treatment provided complete resolution within a few days. This event points out the potential risk of more serious lesions.
