  ABSTRACT: Syngnathia, congenital fusion of the mandible and maxilla, is a rare anomaly. We describe fiberoptic intubation of the trachea whilst controlling the airway with a nasal tube. A simple modification of this technique, previously described in the management of the difficult pediatric airway [1], simplifies the procedure with less potential for complications.
