    Area of Science:

    • Medical Case Reports
    • Anesthesiology
    • Craniofacial Surgery

    Background:

    • Facial defects and jaw fixation present unique challenges in patient management.
    • Effective airway management is critical for surgical and critical care settings.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with a significant facial defect and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis, leading to restricted jaw mobility.
    • This condition complicated standard airway assessment and management protocols.

    Findings:

    • The patient experienced difficulties during bag-valve-mask ventilation due to the limited jaw excursion.
    • Fiberoptic intubation was ultimately required to secure the airway, bypassing the limitations imposed by the facial defect and jaw fixation.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the need for specialized airway management strategies in patients with craniofacial abnormalities.
    • Anesthesiologists and critical care providers should consider advanced intubation techniques for patients with restricted jaw mobility.
    • Early recognition of potential airway difficulties is crucial for successful patient outcomes.
