These patients would be at fatal risk after general anesthesia endotracheal intubation due to severe peritubal leakage.

After general anesthesia endotracheal intubation, difficulty in maintaining ventilation with obvious peri-cuff air leakage made this rare disease to be suspected. The peritubal leakage was resolved by relocating the endotracheal tube to the subglottic area.
