AB A  6-year-old  child  with  Pierre  Robin  sequence  (PRS)  presents  for  bilateral  inguinal  hernia  repair.  As  a  newborn,  he  underwent  tongue-lip  adhesion  surgery  for  upper  airway  obstruction  and  feeding  difficulties.  The  patient’s  anesthetic  record  reads,  “Anterior  larynx.  direct  laryngoscopy  Cormack/Lehane  Grade  4  view  despite  external  laryngeal  manipulation,  with  an  inability  to  intubate  the  trachea.”  Subsequently,  a  nasal  flexible  bronchoscopic  intubation  was  successfully  performed.  The  patient  has  not  had  any  other  surgeries  since.
