We describe a case of mandibular tori that resulted in difficult intubation. A 62-year-old woman who had speech problems was diagnosed with mandibular tori, and was scheduled for surgical resection.

Prediction of difficult direct laryngoscopy
Russian Otorhinolaryngology, 2018The article considers the interrelation between the detection of underlying factors of difficult intubation and the direct intraoperational laryngoscopy data based on case studies. The authors demonstrate the importance of detailed preoperative examination of the patient for the choice of adequate methods of better visualization of the airway.
