The airway approach to a neonate with Treacher Collins syndrome – Case report

Abstract: Neonates and small infants with syndromes characterized by the presence of craniofacial abnormalities may represent great challenges regarding the management of the airway. We describe the case of a 9-day-old neonate with Treacher Collins syndrome, in which a laryngeal mask was essential to improve the airway obstruction, ventilate the patient and serve as an airway conduit for a fiberoptic intubation. By presenting this case, we intend to show that in neonates with Treacher Collins syndrome, in whom difficult… Show more

“…Some individuals can be affected severally, and they may develop lifethreatening breathing problems known as infantile apnea. When infant with Treacher-Collins Syndrome is scheduled for mandibular surgery under general endotracheal anesthesia, the fiber optic intubation method through a laryngeal musk airway, described by Ellis et al can be successfully used in small infants with Treacher Collins Syndrome [5,6].…”
