Airway management in Hallermann-Streiff syndrome.
Hallermann-Streiff syndrome and other craniofacial anomalies predispose patients to airway emergencies. Anatomic abnormalities may render both intubation and tracheotomy unusually difficult. It is important for the otolaryngologist to be familiar with the special difficulties and hazards associated with these malformations in order to ensure optimal airway management.
