[Cervical hematoma after discectomy for spondylosis. An indication of urgent tracheotomy].
We report the clinical case of a hematoma after surgery of cervical spondylosis which required an urgent tracheotomy due to failure in the orotracheal intubation. This illness in advanced degree, so called cervical spondylotic myelopathy, is the most serious consequence of cervical intervertebral disc degeneration.
