- Abstract
Chin-on- chest deformity is not uncommon sequelae of ankylosing spondylitis. Apart from difficult airway, several other considerations might include co-existing cardio-respiratory embarrassment, osteoporotic bones, and neurological perturbations. We describe the successful anesthetic management of a case of chin-on-chest deformity with no access to midline neck structures and extremely difficult airway posted for corrective spine surgery.
