  • Title: Oropharyngeal Swelling and Airway Obstruction from Environmental Cold Exposure: A Case Report.
    Author: Cowtan S, Broughton J, Logsetty S.
    Journal: Wilderness Environ Med; 2024 Mar; 35(1):67-69. PubMed ID: 38379490.
    Abstract:
    A 19-year-old male presented with facial frostbite and severe oropharyngeal edema after prolonged riding of a snowmobile without any facial covering. The diffuse swelling eventually progressed to airway obstruction, requiring a surgical airway. No alternative explanation was found for his presentation, making this the first case found in the literature of airway obstruction secondary to environmental cold exposure.
