    AbstractPatients with Temporomandibular Joint Ankylosis are among difficult airways and anesthesia and airway management of these patients encounter anesthesiologists with challenge. Herein we report a case of Temporomandibular Joint Ankylosis with difficult ventilation after failed attempts to intubate with fibroptic broncoscopy a disposable Laryngeal Mask Airway reestablishes the ventilation. The case suggests that the disposable Laryngeal Mask Airway may be useful in airway management of patients with a Temporomandibular Joint Ankylosis.
