Pseudo-Ludwig's phenomenon, an exceedingly rare clinical entity, is characterized by non-infectious upper airway obstruction resulting from spontaneous hematoma in the sublingual space. The condition is often described in patients on anticoagulants with grossly deranged coagulation profile. We describe a case of pseudo-Ludwig's phenomenon in a cirrhotic patient with significantly deranged hemostasis profile; the first to be reported in medical literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
