ABSTRACT
Giant haemangioma of the tongue is a disease which can obstruct the oropharyngeal airway and is presented with obstructive symptoms. Due to its vascularity, inserting laryngoscope for intubation can cause high risks, such as inducing bleeding. Hypoxia and excessive bleeding must be anticipated while securing the airway. We present a case of novel usage of dexmetomidine as a conscious sedation agent for awake fibre optic intubation in a 9-year-old child with obstructive symptoms secondary to a huge tongue haemangioma, who was presented for interventional sclerotherapy of the lesion.
