Abstract：
:Airway management in a polytraumatized patient with severe spinal and thoracic deformities demands detailed investigation of anatomical characteristics of the head, neck and airways, as well as thoracic configuration, before attempting endotracheal intubation. This enables the physician to predict a difficult airway and prepare for difficult airway management. We present a case of a 50-year-old polytraumatized patient with multiple congenital bone deformities associated with the syndrome of osteogenesis imperfecta and severe kyphoscoliosis, unable of lying on his back due to gibbus, who was successfully intubated in first attempt using video laryngoscope and only mild sedation. In patients with such severe multiple deformities, the use of video laryngoscope or Bonfils rigid endoscope should be mandatory in order to ensure success of intubation in first attempt and to avoid the possible aspiration of gastric contents.
