title: STRAIGHT TO VIDEO: TONSILLAR INJURY DURING ELECTIVE GLIDESCOPE(ò)-ASSISTED PEDIATRIC INTUBATION.
abstract: Airway management in pediatric patients presenting for tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy may prove challenging given the enlarged upper airway structures. Video Laryngoscopy (VL) can be very helpful but it does not come without risks. In this case report, we report an unfavorable outcome of VL in a pediatric patient with adenotonsillar hypertrophy.
