AbstractA fiberoptic-assisted laryngoscope (FLS) (Acoma Medical Industry Co. Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) is a modified Macintosh laryngoscope with a tubular holder into which a fiberoptic bronchoscope can be inserted. We present three cases of Treacher Collins syndrome whose tracheas were successfully intubated with the aid of the FLS. These cases suggest that the FLS may be a useful alternative in the case of difficult pediatric intubation.
