Hématome rétropharyngé asphyxiant après tentative de pose d’une voie veineuse jugulaire interne
Retropharyngeal haematomas are a rare complication of central venous catheters insertion. A case of a retropharyngeal haematoma in a patient treated by acetylsalicylic acid is reported. This case emphasized the difficulty in diagnosis. Close airway surveillance must be done and can lead to surgery in case of airway obstruction.
