Upper airway obstruction complicating warfarin therapy--with a note on reversal of warfarin toxicity.
In a patient taking oral anticoagulants, the complaint of pharyngeal pain, a change in the voice, dysphagia, respiratory difficulty, or a neck mass should prompt a thorough investigation to rule out hemorrhage into the upper airway. This case report describes an anticoagulated patient who experienced precipitous hemorrhagic upper airway obstruction. She was successfully treated with tracheostomy, plasma infusion, and parenteral vitamin K1.

Retropharyngeal hematoma. A complication of therapy with anticoagulants.
The retropharyngeal space is a rare site of spontaneous hemorrhage and the formation of a hematoma in this location is a rarer complication of therapy with anticoagulants. Nineteen cases of retropharyngeal hematoma have been reported in the literature, only two of which have been associated with anticoagulation therapy. In the case reported here, a retropharyngeal hematoma developed in a 61-year-old man who had been receiving anticoagulants. The complication was associated with a violent tussive episode. Airway obstruction necessitated a tracheostomy, and the persistent hematoma required external drainage.
