Airline problem with a case of Goldenhar syndrome (oculoauriculovertebral spectrum)
Journal Title: Journal of Health Sciences and Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
In children, especially under 2 year-old and newborn, problems about endotracheal intubation and ventilation due to anatomic and physiologic differences are frequently observed. Especially in newborn term, big tongue and occiput, small mouth, mobile epiglottis and short neck may occur. These factors may complicate laryngoscopy and intubation. Goldenhar syndrome, etiology is not clear yet, is a disease which is characterized by common systemic congenital anomalies and it is often observed to be caused by sporadic reasons. In this case report, we aimed to discuss the complications during airway management of an 8 month-old Goldenhar syndrome patient who wanted to be intubated due to respiratory distress in infant term but had difficulty in providing airway.
