Anesthesia Management in an Edentulous Patient with Huge Parotid Tumour: Case Report

Abstract

Huge head and neck tumors are known to cause difficult ventilation and difficult intubation. Edentulous mouth can result in difficult mask ventilation. Head and neck tumor resections can also present hemodynamic challenge, due to their proximity to large vessels.
We herein report a clinical case of difficult ventilation due to large parotid tumor in an edentulous patient.
