CASE REPORT

Difficult Airway in a Patient with Coffin-Siris Syndrome

Implications: We report on a patient with Coffin-Siris syndrome and consider a potential association between this condition and difficult intubation. Although this inherited condition is extremely rare, anesthesiologists should be aware of its existence and prepare for potential airway management problems whenever it is encountered.
