Anesthetic challenges arises in securing airway due to difficult mask ventilation because of obstructed nasal passage and unanticipated intraoral extension by a tumour mass leading to difficult intubation also. This sometime lead to the dreaded path of “Cannot Intubate & Cannot Ventilate”. We are describing a successfully managed case of ossifying fibroma arising from the maxilla causing difficulty in ventilation with the help of pediatric circular facemask and airway.
