Abstract :
Nasotracheal intubations are commonly used in maxillofacial surgeries. Failure of ventilation after nasal intubation
is an emergency and this paper aims at pointing out an unusual cause for nasal tube obstruction. Surgeons
and anaesthesiologists should keep the possibility of obstruction by avulsed turbinate bones while dealing with
such emergency situations. This paper details such an occurrence, the reasons and how the situation was managed.
