Abstract:
Ankyloblepharon-ectodermal dysplasia-clefting (AEC) syndrome is an ectodermal dysplasia presenting with cleft lip or palate and congenital filiform eyelid fusion. This is a case report of a 1-year and 6-month-old girl with AEC syndrome presenting with temporomandibular joint ankylosis who underwent release of temporomandibular joint ankylosis, coronoidectomy, bilateral cheiloplasty, Tajima rhinoplasty, and repair of lower lip pits under general anesthesia. Fiberoptic nasotracheal intubation was done successfully using a two-stage technique originally described by Stiles. As necessitated by the surgical plan, video laryngoscope guidance was subsequently used to facilitate the conversion from nasotracheal to orotracheal intubation.
