title: [Perioperative Airway Management in a Patient with Madelung's Disease: A Case Report].
abstract: Madelung's disease is a rare disorder characterized by multiple, symmetric fatty tissues. The patient, 72-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for abdominal surgery for liver cancer. He had extreme fatty accumulations involving head and neck. We expected difficult airway because of his fatty tissues, and we perfomed awake intubation by Airway Scope. We confirmed the airway by using tube exchanger at extubation. We should choose a proper airway management technique to reduce the incidences of airway complications.
