Bleeding, scar tissue, contractures, oedema and lesions that can spread throughout the body can cause a difficult airway and vascular access in patients with EB. Therefore, anaesthetic management in patients with EB is a major problem even for experienced anaesthesiologists. Herein, we report a case of difficult airway management in a patient diagnosed with severe EB who presented for emergency tracheostomy because of respiratory failure under general anaesthesia.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessEpidermolysis bullosanasal fiberoptic intubationdifficult airwayArticle4452702722790960910.5152/TJAR.2016.492602-s2.0-84995923549N/AWOS:000388699700012N/A
