RESUMO
We present the case of a 13-year-old male with epidermolysis bullosa having an elective syndactyly release. These patients present significant challenges to the anaesthetist; extreme care in patient handling is required. Recurrent and pronounced scarring of intra-oral, pharyngeal and laryngeal tissues is a feature, resulting in a difficult airway. Following a failed intubation using a fibreoptic bronchoscope, we describe a combined technique by adding in the Glidescope(®). This proved immediately successful. Its utilisation has been reported in adults. We wish to present our experience in the paediatric population, and this is the first report in a child with epidermiolysis bullosa.
