Abstract :

Airway management of a child with Pierre Robin Syndrome has always been a challenge for the anaesthesiologists. The micrognathia , macroglossia , ankylosis associated with high arched palate and Microstomia pose difficulty in intubating these patients.We report a case in which technique of blind nasal intubation was used to intubate a 2 year old child posted for tongue tie release after failed direct laryngoscopic intubation attempts.
