Anatomical landmarks and definitions of craniofacial dimensions.

Definitions of the landmarks : point a  =  eyebrow ; point b  =  the ala nasi ; point c  =  earlobe ; point d  =  mandibular mentum ; point e  =  laryngeal incisure ; point f  =  suprasternal notch ; point g  =  armpit ; point A  =  point that the tracheal tube appears from nasopharynx ; point B  =  tip of the laryngoscope or Airway Scope blade corresponding to the base of the tongue ; point C  =  cricoid cartilage ; point D  =  the point of the extension line that connects the point B and the point C (Laryngeal axis).

Definitions of the four lines : Cervical line  =  line that connects the point c and a point of intersection between the surface of the operating table and a perpendicular line through the point g ; Facial line  =  line that connects the point b and the point a ; Surface line  =  surface of the operating table ; Laryngeal axis  =  line that connects the point B and the point C.

Definitions of the angles formed by the lines : lower neck flexion angle (α)  =  angle between the cervical line and facial line ; upper neck extension angle (β)  =  angle between the cervical line and the surface line.

Definitions of distance : Facial height (X)  =  distance between the point b and the surface line ; Thyromental distance (Y)  =  distance between the point d and the point e ; Sternomental distance (Z)  =  distance between the point d and the point f.

The captured images from VB of case 1

A : The epiglottis.

B : The airway stenosis was found. The epiglottis could be identified, but was shifted to the left side.

C : The pharynx was transformed, but the vocal cord could be identified.

D : The trachea and bifurcation.
