Abstract :
We describe a case of Freeman-Sheldon syndrome (FSS) in a 22-month-old infant weighing 6.5 kg scheduled to undergo knee web-plasty in the prone position, in which
fiber-optic intubation was successfully performed in an easy way.We briefly review the features of FSS, discuss anesthetic challenges associated with intubation of pediatric
patients, and describe the ease and success of fiber-optic intubation using a new technique.
