Abstract
Conventional with Macintosh laryngoscope is either difficult or is often not the first choice for intubating a patient with traumatic and ankylosed cervical spine. This is mainly to prevent further cervical spine dislocation and damage caused by neck extension or merely because problems encountered while intubating such patients may end up with failure to intubate or orophayngeal and dental trauma. A skillfully executed Fiber optic avoids above complications. We hereby report a similar scenario of expected difficult intubation in a patient suffering from ankylosing spondylitis presenting for emergency cervical spine surgery following traumatic C5-C6 subluxation .
