The use of the Molt mouth gag to assist in oral fiberoptic tracheal intubation of a developmentally challenged patient presenting with severe trismus.

Airway management in developmentally challenged, and often uncooperative, patients presents difficulty for the anesthesiologist and may be further complicated by severe trismus. We describe a case wherein the use of the Molt mouth gag significantly facilitated airway control using fiberoptic tracheal intubation.
