Abstract:
We report a modified technique of retrograde endotracheal intubation in a patient with limited motility at the atlanto-occipital joint, temporomandibular joint, and cervical spine, presenting for closure of a large oronasal fistula. Despite more recent advances in intubation techniques and technology, retrograde intubation still deserves a place in the anesthetist's armamentarium for the management of the difficult airway.
