Failure of insertion of a laryngeal mask airway caused by a variation in the anatomy of the thyroid cartilage.

S T Browning1, H B Whittet, A Williams.   

Abstract

We report the failure of insertion of a laryngeal mask airway in a patient with a pre-operative diagnosis of an abnormality of the superior cornua of the thyroid cartilage. We believe that this is the first time that this reason for failure has been reported.
