Abstract

A laryngeal polyp is a common benign lesion of phonotraumatic origins. However, a case of the laryngeal polyp with the upper airway obstruc�tion is rare. The common symptoms include hoarseness or reduced vocal quality, and dysp�nea could be present in severe cases. Depending on the anatomical location of the polyp, manipu�lation on the larynx could cause laryngospasm and life-threatening airway obstruction. In this case, the patient underwent a planned cesarean section under general anesthesia. However, her breathing rhythm did not return spontaneously after surgery and she was sent to the intensive care unit. Bilateral laryngeal polyps were discov�ered after the removal of an endotracheal tube. However, there was a delay in the removal of the polyps, where it was performed two months after the intensive care unit discharge. The histo�pathological results confirmed a diagnosis of bi�lateral angiomatous laryngeal polyps
