Abstrakt: Tapia's syndrome after an orbitozygomatic fracture is a rare event. However, other causes after endotracheal intubation have been widely reported in the literature. We present a rare case of a patient who developed left hemi-tongue deviation and dysphonia after endotracheal intubation for orbitozygomatic fracture repair. The purpose of this article is to sensitize clinicians in relation to the knowledge of symptoms by making a first differential diagnosis with other pathologies and by adopting preventive strategies for a correct management of endotracheal intubation.
