Abstract
Tracheal intubation using direct laryngoscopy has become an essential part in the anesthesia management of the surgical patient. Big oropharynx mass can cause serious problems depending on their locations. Mass lesions of oropharynx may lead to difficult intubation. In this letter, we present a successful application of airway management with general anesthesia in a neonatal patient with big oropharynx mass.
