Patients with difficult airway may be encountered either predictably or not. The Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) has increasingly become an option for airway management including patients with airway difficulty. We report the case of a middleaged man who had thyroidectomy and whose anticipated difficult airway was managed with the classic LMA.
