    AbstractA twenty-nine-year-old man suffering from Franceschetti syndrome requiring a retinal detachment operation was successfully anaesthetised using the laryngeal mask airway. The laryngeal mask has many advantages compared to endotracheal intubation in patients suffering from craniofacial abnormalities i.e. hypoplasia of the mandibular bone and ventral position of the larynx. In these cases the laryngeal mask is easily placed. However, the facilities of fibreoptic bronchoscopy should be readily available. The physician should have gained confidence in using a laryngeal mask before employing this device in cases of difficult intubation.
