Abstract:

Treacher Collins Syndrome (TCS) is an autosomal dominant disorder of craniofacial development. It is characterized by bilateral and symmetric abnormalities of the structures derived from the first and second branchial arch region. The patients with TCS can have difficult intubation because of retrognathia and severe facial deformity. Here we report a case of 11 months old boy with TCS with anticipated difficult airway posted for cheiloplasty under general anesthesia which was successfully managed.
