Nasotracheal intubation with c-mac video-laryngoscope in a patient with Treacher Collins Syndrome

Treacher Collins Syndrome (TCS) is a dominantly inherited autosomal disease which limited to head and neck movement. In management of difficult airways which is seen in patients with TCS, the direct laryngoscope, video-laryngoscope (VL), and fiber-optic laryngoscope (FOB) were successfully utilized. No study that was indicated the successful execution of nasotracheal intubation on a patient with TCS by using C-MAC video-laryngoscope was found in literature review. In this case report, we aimed to share our airway management on a patient with TCS for whom we planned nasotracheal intubation due to a dental surgery
