ABSTRACT
Almost all anesthesiologists are encounter a difficult airway occasionally, which is probably the most important cause of anesthesia related morbidity and mortality. The Intubating Laryngeal Mask Airway (ILMA) is a modified laryngeal mask airway with the capability for guided tracheal intubation while maintaining ventilation. We report the successful use of this device in patient with ankylosing spondylitis, mental retardation and hearing disturbance. This case suggests that ILMA is a safe and useful method for airway management in anesthetic care of uncooperative patients.
