vertebra), it may lead to quadriplegia or sudden death. 1 Various complications like airway stenosis due to laryngotracheal hypoplasia and intubation difficulties due to microgenia should be considered during the anesthetic management of patients with SEDC. For those patients with atlantoaxial instability, violent or excessive laryngeal manipulation during intubation and excessive movement of the head/neck during surgery may cause cervical vertebral dislocation. In addition, endotracheal tubes for patients with short stature should be cautiously selected because of the

with a camera at the tip of the blade, and it generally provides good indirect glottic visualization. We previously reported that GS was useful in cases with difficult intubation, except in neonatal patients who had severe microgenia. For these patients, it was necessary to use a fiberscope for intubation. Therefore, additional studies regarding difficult intubation in neonatal patients are required. Here, we report two cases of neonatal patients who had severe microgenia due to the Pierre Robin sequence in which a new type of GS [GS Cobalt (GS–C)] was

To proceed, another anesthesiologist elevated the epiglottic vallecula using the King Vision video laryngoscope, and the first anesthesiologist was then able to introduce the fiberscope to complete endotracheal intubation.
