Abstract:
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare disorder that causes heterotopic bone formation leading to chest wall and spinal deformities. This case describes an 11-year-old female with FOP who presented in respiratory failure necessitating two emergent fiberoptic nasotracheal intubations. The patient had severe trismus, rotary flexion of the neck, and distortion of the airway. A three-dimensional printed model based off of a computed tomography reconstruction was created for an in situ simulation before the true procedure. The surgery and trach change were both uneventful. We propose that with careful preoperative planning, tracheotomy can be an appropriate option for FOP patients. Laryngoscope, 129:812-817, 2019.
