Abstract
Managing the airway of patient with postburn contracture at the neck is often challenging for otolaryngologists and anesthesiologists. It affects the oro-pharyngo-laryngeal airway axes because of anatomical and functional deformities because of the long-standing contracture in the face and neck region. We present a case of extensive neck postburn contractures distorting anatomy, whose airway was assessed and managed using a video fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB) (Ambu® aScope™). Our experience of the utility of FOB mirrors the experience and literature in the management of difficult airway.
