Formal guidelines for awake tracheal intubation have recently been published providing a streamlined process for the first time. We present a case of awake videolaryngoscopy in the pediatric setting, not previously reported.

A multidisciplinary approach with ENT colleagues provided a patient-specific airway management plan for a rare airway pathology.
