We experienced a case of difficult intubation with tracheobronchial anomaly. A 66-year-old male was scheduled for subtotal esophagectomy. We used a univent bronchial blocker tube (UBT) to separate the lungs because of difficulty with tracheal intubation using a 37 F double lumen tube (DLT). Intraoperatively, we could not separate the lungs due to tracheobronchial anomaly in the right lung, and attempted to change the tube. We could insert a 35 F DLT to the trachea and separate the lungs. In the case of difficult or impossible conventional direct-vision intubation, the use of DLT is a relative contraindication. However, in this case, the separation of the lungs with UBT was difficult because of tracheobronchial anomaly.
