title: Difficult mask ventilation made easy: Three cases of Parry Romberg syndrome.
abstract: Parry Romberg syndrome presenting as hemifacial atrophy poses various perioperative problems due to multi-system involvement. These patients have several anaesthetic implications which are published as case reports. In spite of several case reports, airway issues associated with this disease is under-discussed. This report of three cases discusses airway difficulties and the multiple methods to tackle them in an easier way by focussing concentration on airway assessment and appropriate preoperative planning.
