title: Anesthetic management by laryngeal mask airway in a patient with a history of difficult intubation resulting in dental injuries.
abstract: Disabled patients may face respiratory problems during general anesthesia because of head and neck anomalies. We describe a case of dental treatment under general anesthesia using a laryngeal mask airway in a disabled patient who faced difficulty in endotracheal intubation on several occasions, 5 of which resulted in dental injuries.
