It is exceptionally rare following head and neck surgeries. Here, we present a case of Gossypiboma of the upper airway following tracheostomy.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A 32-year-old male presented with stridor and difficulty breathing one-month post-tracheostomy after a severe head injury following a road traffic accident. A neck radiograph was unremarkable, and a computed tomography (CT) scan of the neck showed a well-defined homogenous curvilinear membrane extending from the hypopharynx to the upper trachea. Bronchoscopic evaluation of the larynx and upper trachea revealed a retained surgical sponge, which was retrieved. The patient\u2019s breathing improved drastically post intervention.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Gossypiboma may go undetected in radiographs and may also present atypically as a homogenous membrane on a CT scan of the neck. Though rare, retained surgical items can have profound medicolegal and professional consequences on physicians. Hence, a strong clinical\u00a0suspicion and vigilance for gossypiboma is\u00a0necessary for patients presenting with respiratory distress post-tracheostomy.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13256-024-04490-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,18]],"date-time":"2024-06-18T00:02:17Z","timestamp":1718668937000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Gossypiboma larynx: a rare cause of post-tracheostomy stridor\u2014case report and review of literature"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Gagan S.","family":"Prakash","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4954-2620","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vikyath","family":"Satish","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bharath","family":"Raju","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Neema Jayachamarajapura","family":"Onkaramurthy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sathya","family":"Prakash","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,18]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"4490_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"220","DOI":"10.1186\/1757-1626-1-220","volume":"1","author":"A Aminian","year":"2008","unstructured":"Aminian A.
