Figure 1. Intubated patient with Joubert syndrome. Inserted Davis-Mayer spatula and mouth gag. Although OrphanAnesthesia [5] reports a frequent difficult airway in Joubert syndrome patients, in our case, with a wide mouth opening and good reclination, there was no difficulty in securing the airway. Above the ary cartilage (highlighted in green) the tube disappears between the vocal folds.
