Bleeding mandibular AVM: Airway management

Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis: Upper Airway Management in Pierre Robin Sequence

Management of the difficult Airway

The appropriate airway management is the important point during the anesthesia. For it dose, ‎taking history, physical examination (head and neck, mandible, mouth opening, neck ‎movements …) must be done completely and they are helpful in estimating difficult ‎intubation.‎ It is necessary to note that one case from every ‎‏5000‏‎ cases of anesthesia, not o...

Endovascular management of a bleeding mandibular arteriovenous malformation by transfemoral venous embolization with NBCA.

A 13-year-old boy presented with an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) involving the left mandible that bled after intraoral biopsy. The AVM was treated on an emergency basis by primary intravenous delivery of n-butyl cyanoacrylate after transfemoral catheterization, resulting in complete anatomic and clinical cure.

Management of Mandibular Fractures

The treatment of mandibular fractures has been in a constant state of evolution over the past few decades. The most significant advancements related to the management of fractures of the man‐ dible are based on specific technical refinements in the methods of internal fixation. Also there is improvement in the knowledge of anatomy, pathophysiology, pharmacology and biomaterial science which inf...

Airway management for infants with severe micrognathia having mandibular distraction osteogenesis.

We retrospectively reviewed the charts of seven neonates and infants with severe micrognathia and upper airway obstruction who underwent mandibular distraction osteogenesis as an alternative to long-term tracheostomy at the Children's Hospital at Westmead, Sydney, from 2004 to 2007. All patients required a variety of airway interventions at an early age and had poor feeding or failure to thrive...
