Abstract
THE airway management of a surgical patient is one of the anesthesiologist's primary concerns. The combination of several parameters seems to predict difficult laryngoscopy and intubation: short thyro-mental distance, protruding incisors, micrognathia, small mouth opening, acromegalic features, short neck, morbid obesity, and others. This case report describes another rare and frequently unrecognized physical feature associated with difficult intubation: a mandibular osteoma.
