crafting a solution: an impromptu approach to intubation in a patient with treacher-collins syndrome, utilizing video-laryngoscopy and a custom j-shape stylet

Treacher-collins syndrome (tcs) is a rare congenital disease known to be associated with a difficult airway and is challenging for anesthesiologists practicing pediatric anesthesia. many features of the syndrome are predictors of a difficult airway, including limited mouth opening, mandibular hypoplasia, relative macroglossia, glossoptosis, and obstructive sleep apnea. in this report, we share our experience with a tcs patient who presented for adenotonsillectomy and underwent successful intubation using video laryngoscopy with a revised j-shaped stylet.
