AbstractThe penetration of foreign bodies into the oropharynx can be life-threatening. Airway management in patients who have a foreign body penetrated into their oropharynx is a challenging problem for the anaesthetist. In this case report, we aimed to share our experience of endotracheal intubation performed with GlideScope video laryngoscopy in a 3-year-old, 15 kg patient. The patient underwent general anaesthesia to facilitate the removal of an umbrella wire that had become embedded in her soft palate.2014 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.
