AB A  lady  in  her  thirties  presented  for  endoscopic  sinus  surgery  and  septoplasty.  Preoperative  assessment  found  only  a  congenitally  fused  neck  vertebra  and  use  of  nasal  decongestant  spray  for  long-standing  sinusitis.  Despite  a  slight  restriction  in  neck  movement,  there  was  nothing  to  suggest  a  problem  with  airway  management.  For  example,  there  was  minimal  restriction  in  neck  flexion  extension  and  rotation.  Mouth  opening  and  thyromental  distance  were  normal,  and  the  Mallampati  was  Grade  II.
