Abstract
The usual approach for airway management in anaplastic thyroid carcinoma involves debulking of the tumour and doing an anterior tracheostomy. However, debulking a big vascular thyroid mass and doing an anterior tracheostomy can be very difficult and may lead to complications. Lateral tracheostomy performed by using a tracheoflex tube can overcome the difficulty encountered and minimize the morbidity. Although performing tracheostomy in patients with big neck mass continues to be a challenge. We believe that lateral tracheostomy using tracheoflex tube in this type of case is helpful and can necessitate post-operative tracheostomy care.
