Goldenhar syndrome, also known as oculo‐auriculo‐vertebral dysplasia, is characterized by a wide range of congenital anomalies, such as micrognathia, oral cavity malformations, and vertebral anomalies and always causes difficult airway. Awake intubation often cannot be used on children because of inadequate cooperation. In addition, children have higher rates of oxygen consumption, significantly shortening the period of apnea that can be safely tolerated. This study reported a successful orotracheal intubation using the McGrath® video laryngoscope combined with a fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB) in a pediatric patient with Goldenhar syndrome.
