    AbstractA Forestier's disease patient was scheduled for endoscopic mucosal resection under general anesthesia, because of his hypoxic episode during gastric endoscopy. Endotracheal intubation was planned while awake, because he was suspected as a case of difficult airway. By using AWS, we could easily confirm his larynx and aditus of trachea in spite of his narrow pharynx caused by Forestier's disease. The procedure was successful with no complications. AWS seems to be a useful device for endotracheal intubation in Forestier's disease.
