Successful airway management using a MultiViewScope handle with a stylet scope in a patient with Schwartz–Jampel syndrome
Schwartz–Jampel syndrome (SJS) is a rare disorder characterized by micrognathia, kyphoscoliosis, and myotonia. The greatest challenge in the anesthetic management of patients with SJS is performing tracheal intubation. The MultiViewScope (MVS) is a video laryngoscope system in which the video monito...

Sumario: | Schwartz–Jampel syndrome (SJS) is a rare disorder characterized by micrognathia, kyphoscoliosis, and myotonia. The greatest challenge in the anesthetic management of patients with SJS is performing tracheal intubation. The MultiViewScope (MVS) is a video laryngoscope system in which the video monitor handle can be attached to a stylet scope, laryngoscope blade, or fiberscope. We report a 21-month-old boy with SJS who required general anesthesia. Direct laryngoscopy was impossible because of his limited mouth opening; however, his trachea was easily intubated using an MVS handle with a stylet scope. The MVS is useful for managing difficult airways associated with SJS.
