Abstract
Difficult airway may be defined as a situation in which conventionally trained anesthetist has a difficulty in either mask ventilation, or endotracheal intubation, or both. Several management tools are available of difficult airway and one such tool is a videolaryngoscope. We are presenting a case report demonstrating the use of McGrath MAC videolaryngoscope in a patient with long standing neck swelling and restricted neck extension.
