3D Virtual Bronchoscopy as an Aid to Airway Management in a Patient with Anterior Mediastinal Mass

We report a case of a 66-year-old male with severe dyspnea, having a very large invasive anterior mediastinal mass, causing left lung collapse for urgent debulking surgery. The tracheobronchial compromise was ruled out using three-dimensional reconstruction on computed tomography imaging (virtual bronchoscopy) and that helped in using general anesthesia with muscle relaxation for subsequent endotracheal intubation and surgery.PMID:38607882 | DOI:10.4103/aca.aca_133_23
