Özet
Fiberoptic bronchoscopy is widely used for tracheal intubation in cases where direct laryngoscopy could not be achieved. In this case report we have discussed the anaesthetic management of a 17-years-old male with temporomandibular joint ankylosis and micrognathia developed following a trauma in childhood. We concluded that; although several methods can be used in cases of difficult intubation, following a careful preoperative preparation and by taking preventive measures, fiberoptic intubation can be performed providing spontaneous breathing without any problem in patients having micrognathia and restricted mouth opening.
