Eficacia del videolaringoscopio GlideScope® en un caso de vía aérea difícil imprevista por hipertrofia de la amígdala lingual

Lingual tonsil hypertrophy can cause varying degrees of airway obstruction and is considered a risk factor for difficult mask ventilation and tracheal intubation. We report a case of unexpected difficult airway in a patient with unknown lingual tonsil hypertrophy that was solved with the use of the GlideScope® video laryngoscope.
