Abstract
It can be challenging to create a safe airway in maxilla facial fracture and some skull surgeries. In this case study, the patient experienced jaw fractures that disturbed the dental occlusion and associated fracture of the base of the skull. Neither nasal nor oral intubation was possible based on the side ef-fects of tracheotomy; therefore, submental intubation was applied successfully. The procedure and results are presented in the text.
