A 78 year old patient, whose neck was fixed with polyaxial lateral mass screws and rod was planned for an incisional hernia repair under general anaesthesia. Securing the airway in such an immobile neck is a challenge to the anesthesiologist. Although awake fibreoptic intubation is considered as the gold standard for such challenging patients, we successfully used the Airtraq optical laryngoscope for performing an awake intubation in this case. This example paves the way for the management of similar cases in the future.
