A 61-year-old man receiving anticoagulant therapy after the aortic valve replacement underwent emergency surgery for
acute appendicitis
. Although the patient was intubated with difficulty, no immediate complications were evident after extubation. On the evening of the first postoperative day he complained of a sore throat, difficulty in swallowing and
dysphonia
. The swelling of the tongue with right-side predominance and the swelling of the right neck were observed. The right-sided sublingual hematoma was confirmed by CT.
