title: Glidescope Video Laryngoscope Use for Tracheal Intubation in a Patient with CHARGE Syndrome.
abstract: CHARGE syndrome is an autosomal dominant syndrome in which ocular coloboma (C), heart defects (H), choanal atresia (A), growth retardation (R), genital hypoplasia (G), ear abnormalities (E), and tracheoesophageal fistula, dysphagia, cleft palate, micrognathia, facial paralysis, hypopituitarism, and brain abnormalities may be seen in patients. The patients with CHARGE syndrome face surgical procedures many times from birth. Especially, the problems we meet in the airway may be special. In this case report, we aimed to share our experience of endotracheal intubation performed with Glidescope video laryngoscopy for a patient at the age of 20 months, weight 7.5 kg and height 70 cm, with CHARGE syndrome who was undergoing cochlear implantation.
