Incidental diagnosis of Mounier–Kuhn syndrome during anesthesia: A case report

For patients with undiagnosed MKS, a comprehensive evaluation of preoperative thoracic imaging is crucial. In MKS, both the cuff placement and size of the endotracheal tube significantly influence airway management success. This is particularly critical in patients with oral cancer, in whom difficult airway conditions reduce the likelihood of successful tube exchange. Optimizing endotracheal tube cuff positioning represents a safe and effective approach. Individualised anesthetic airway management is essential to ensure patient safety.
