title: The anesthetic management of a patient with an obstructing intratracheal mass: a case report.
abstract: A patient with a large mass in his lower trachea presents a real challenge to the anesthesiologist. The anticipated management and alternatives must be discussed with the surgeons beforehand. This report describes a procedure that successfully managed such a case involving a neurofibroma without evidence of neurofibromatosis.
