【 摘 要 】
Klippel-Fiel syndrome is one of the common congenital causes of difficult airway which is characterized byfailure of normal segmentation of cervical vertebra resulting in short neck with restricted movement andcervical instability. This anomaly increases the risk of neurological damage during airway instrumentationlike laryngoscopy and positioning for surgery. We report a case of 60 year old female patient with Klippel-Fiel syndrome posted for ear surgery under general anesthesia. She was successfully managed by usingawake fibreoptic technique for endotracheal intubation.
