ABSTRACT
Airway access is particularly difficult in infants and children with some anatomical deformities, usually associated with congenital syndromes. Craniofacial abnormalities are commonly seen in the Pierre Robin Syndrome [PRS], Treacher Collins and Goldenhar syndromes. The Pierre Robin sequence consists of micrognathia and relative macroglossia with or without cleft palate. In the severe case, airway obstruction and feeding difficulties are present. Endotracheal intubation may be difficult, or in some case even impossible. We present a case report of intubation of a child, suffering from PRS, by using air-Q, a new intubating LMA, and use of tongue stitches to maintain airway during recovery
