Eur J Anaesthesiol. 1999 Apr;16(4):263-4. doi: 10.1046/j.1365-2346.1999.00460.x.

Abstract

We report the successful use of the intubating laryngeal mask airway in a patient with maxillo-facial trauma for whom the facemask and laryngoscope were relatively contraindicated and the fibreoptic scope potentially difficult to use.
