[en] Aspiration of gastric content is a rare
complication following general anesthesia (GA), and is
responsible for significant morbidity and mortality.
We report the case of a 69 years-old man who underwent
a JJ-stent replacement for ureterohydronephrosis carried
out under GA with a laryngeal mask airway (LMA).
During this procedure, an unexpected enterovesical
fistula (EFV) resulted in a massive gastric aspiration.
Through this case, we will discuss the indications and
contraindications of supraglottic airway devices (SAD),
as well as the etiology, diagnosis and work-up of EVF.
