    Author: Pérez Fernández-Escandón Á, Hevia Sánchez V, Llorente Pendás S, Molina Montalva F.
    Journal: Rev Esp Anestesiol Reanim (Engl Ed); 2019 Apr; 66(4):230-234. PubMed ID: 30661728.
    Abstract:
    Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS), Franceschetti-Zwahlen-Klein, or mandibulofacial dysostosis, is a rare disorder of craniofacial development (incidence of approximately 1:50.000 live births). TCS is relevant to the anaesthetist because it can cause difficulties in airway management. A case report is presented of a 24 year-old woman who was referred to our institution for facial reconstruction surgery in two stages. In both surgeries Airtraq™ was essential for airway management. By presenting this case, it is intended to show that planning, communication and teamwork are indispensable for patient safety.
