Abstract

A large sublingual ranula compromises the anterior pharyngeal space and thus, there is a technical difficulty in direct laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation. Videostylet-guided intubation has the advantage to overcome this difficulty. Here, we report successful videostylet-guided intubation in a case of huge plunging intraoral ranula in a 5-year-old female child posted for surgical excision of the ranula.
