摘要：

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((R)). 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.
