Year 2013, Yıl: 2013 Sayı: 3, 149 - 151, 01.11.2013

Abstract

A 64 year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with the symptoms of hemoptysis, hoarseness, throat tripping, foreign body sensation and respiratory distress. At the laryngeal face of epiglottis by using the indirect laryngoscopy, we determined an alive, green-brown colored foreign body with its free parts extending to the rima glottis. Under general anesthesia without intubation, the foreign body was removed by the help of Magill forceps and diagnosed as a leech. In this report, we present a rare case of living leech at the larynx with a short review of the literature.
