Abstract:
The use of a shoulder arthroscopic procedure provides advantages in the diagnosis and treatment of shoulder injuries. However, this technique is not free from complications. We encountered a patient who presented with an airway obstruction caused by the accumulation of extraarticular arthroscopy fluid after arthroscopic shoulder surgery under general anesthesia.
