【 摘 要 】

Dislocation of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) during airway manipulation in anaesthesia is not unusual. Direct laryngoscopy, intubation, supraglottic airway device insertion, Ryle’s tube insertion and fibreoptic intubation are some of the procedures which require varying degree of jaw manipulation which may sometimes act as triggering factor, dislocating the otherwise normal joint. We report a case of TMJ dislocation during “Easy Tube” insertion under general anaesthesia, which was recognized only after its removal. Closed reduction was done and there was no residual sequel.
