Abstract

Parapharyngeal tumors often distort the airway anatomy leading to obstruction and hinderance for intubation thus posing a challenge for the anesthetist at securing airway with least damage to the nearby structures.
 We present our experience through a series of 5 such cases in children managed successfully using video laryngoscope.
 Working in places where availability of advanced airway equipment such as pediatric size fiberoptic is unavailable, a video laryngoscope can help to appropriately assess the airway and prevent disastrous outcomes.
