Fever, otalgia, dehydration, sore throat, and hemorrhage are common complications. In this clinical report, a 7-year-old boy was presented with a synechia between the posterior plicae together with recurrence of adenoid hypertrophy after adenotonsillectomy 1 year previously. The synechia and adenoid were resected, and the patient was discharged from the hospital after 2 days. The complication in this case was most likely caused by traumatic injury of the posterior plicae during the previous tonsillectomy. This complication is, however, very rare.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAirway obstructionposterior plica synechiaadenotonsillectomyoropharyngeal stenosisArticle234121312142280113210.1097/SCS.0b013e3182564ab92-s2.0-84864540885Q2WOS:000306710200114Q4
