Leech--an unusual cause of (laryngo-tracheal) obstruction.
1991
Abstract A case of acute laryngo-tracheal obstruction in a 12-year old boy is presented. A live leech was removed from the larynx under general anaesthesia. A high index of suspicion of leeches as foreign bodies in children with acute onset of respiratory distress associated with hemoptysis and early surgical intervention is emphasized.
