Abstract

Abstract: Laryngeal venous malformations rarely but do cause airway obstruction resulting in life‐threatening events. The perioperative airway management for the patients with them has not been well established. We suggest a strategy for laryngeal venous malformations management in the patients who undergo surgery in addition to planning for airway management. Abstract : Preoperative interdisciplinary assessment and discussion, close monitoring to detect the signs of airway obstruction, and the skills for difficult airway management including awake tracheal intubation or awake trachestomy are useful.
