[Orotracheal intubation using a styletscope in a patient to avoid neck recurvation].
We used a Styletscope for endotracheal intubation in a 71-year-old man in whom neck recurvation is contraindicated. Orotracheal intubation was accomplished promptly with the scope. We conclude that Styletscope is useful for orotracheal intubation in patients with limited neck recurvation.
