Successful intubation using McGRATH MAC in a patient with Treacher Collins syndrome.

Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) is a congenital malformation of craniofacial development, which is associated with difficult tracheal intubation1. Several video laryngoscopes that have recently been developed have been shown to improve the laryngeal view in pediatric patients with difficult airways, including patients with TCS2-4. McGRATH® MAC (MAC; Aircraft Medical, Edinburgh, UK) has more recently been developed as a new video laryngoscope modified from McGRATH® Series 5 and may provide a better view of the glottis for intubation in adult patients5. However, there has been no report on the usefulness of MAC for intubation in pediatric patients with difficult airways.
