Management of a “difficult airway” remains one of the most relevant and challenging tasks for anaesthesiologists. Although practice guidelines and algorithms may help in such situations, yet modifications are required according to the situations.

We present our method of successful management in this case and reiterate the role of different methods of correct positioning and intubation in such circumstances.
