Transient unilateral combined paresis of the hypoglossal nerve and lingual nerve following intubation anesthesia
Nerve damage may occur in the pharyngolaryngeal region during general anesthesia. The most frequently injured nerves are the hypoglossal, lingual and recurrent laryngeal. These injuries may arise in association with several factors, such as laryngoscopy, endotracheal intubation and tube insertion, c...
