0 ne of the critical aspects of patient care for general endotracheal anesthesia is airway management. There are many recent comprehensive reviews on management of the difficult airway (1,2). The unanticipated difficult airway is particularly challenging for the anesthesiologist. We report a case of a young woman who, after rapid sequence induction of anesthesia, could not be ventilated via a mask or tracheally intubated because of extraordinary hyperplasia of the lingual tonsils. This is a case of a cerebral anoxia, resulting from inability to intubate the trachea secondary to marked lingual tonsillar hyperplasia after induction of anesthesia.
