Abstract
- The Treacher-Collins syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by mandibular, maxillary, and malar bone hypoplasia, bilateral deformities of auricles, lower lid defects, and antimongoloid slant of the palpebral fissures. The syndrome is associated with considerable difficulty in airway management during anesthesia; difficult, often impossible, endotracheal intubation and face mask ventilation. We report case of Treacher-Collins syndrome in 13-year-old girl who was intubated with fiberoptic bronchoscope and discuss anesthetic consideration.
