We present here a case of a common problem for the anesthesiologist, i.e., difficulty in placing a Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA). One solution is the use of the Yodfat technique to facilitate placement of the LMA.

Case Reports
Unilateral Horner's syndrome and brachial plexus anesthesia during lumbar epidural blockade.
Horner's syndrome is a rare side effect of epidural analgesia. In association with ipsilateral brachial plexus block, it has only been reported once before, in French. Unilateral blockade has also been reported, although its etiology is unclear and may be multifactorial. The patient described here experienced an asymmetrical epidural blockade with a unilateral Horner's syndrome and ipsilateral brachial plexus block.
