Özet

We describe a 15-month-old boy with prune-belly syndrome (PBS) in whom airway management was complicated. Following an inhalation induction using sevoflurane, tracheal intubation by direct laryngos-copy proved impossible after repeated attempts. A laryngeal mask airway (LMA™) was inserted and the child had an uneventful anaesthetic course.
