Abstract
|
|
|
|
We report the perioperative airway management in a 7-year-old boy suffering from Cherubism who was scheduled for endoscopic sinus surgery under general anesthesia. Cherubism is a rare, hereditary disorder of the jaws characterized by expansion of the maxilla and mandible. A difficult airway was encountered during induction of general anesthesia, nasal and oral mask pitting ventilation was hard for first attempts due to facial bony abnormality. At second attempt, we tried only oral mask pitting ventilation and it was successful.
