In this case series, we report what methods of airway establishment were conclusively chosen after rapid induction of anesthesia. We had 24 consecutive patients with MMTAH who underwent surgical release of its contracture under general anesthesia. Rapid induction of anesthesia with propofol and rocuronium was chosen for all the cases. In 7 cases, intubation using the Macintosh laryngoscopy was attempted; however, 2 of those cases failed to be intubated on the first attempt. Finally, intubation using the McCoy laryngoscopy or fiber-optic intubation was alternatively used in these 2 cases. In 7 cases, the Trachlight was used. In the remaining 10 cases, fiber-optic intubation was used. Limited mouth opening in patients with MMTAH did not improve with muscular relaxation. \u201cSquare mandible\u201d has been reported to be one of the clinical features in this disease; however, half of these 24 patients lacked this characteristic, which might affect a definitive diagnosis of this disease for anesthesiologists. An airway problem in patients with MMTAH should not be underestimated, which means that other intubation methods rather than direct laryngoscopy had better be considered.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2344\/11-27.1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,7,23]],"date-time":"2012-07-23T19:54:34Z","timestamp":1343073274000},"page":"87-89","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Anesthetic Considerations for Masticatory Muscle Tendon-Aponeurosis Hyperplasia: A Report of 24 Cases"],"prefix":"10.2344","volume":"59","author":[{"given":"Ikumi","family":"Yamamoto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"*Department of Anesthesiology, Nara Medical University, Kashihara, Japan"},{"name":"\u2020Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Nara Medical University, Kashihara, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Satoki","family":"Inoue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"*Department of Anesthesiology, Nara Medical University, Kashihara, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Masahiko","family":"Kawaguchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"*Department of Anesthesiology, Nara Medical University, Kashihara, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tetsuji","family":"Kawakami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"\u2020Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Nara Medical University, Kashihara, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tadaaki","family":"Kirita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"\u2020Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Nara Medical University, Kashihara, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hitoshi","family":"Furuya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"*Department of Anesthesiology, Nara Medical University, Kashihara, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1191","reference":[{"key":"i0003-3006-59-2-87-Yoda1","series-title":"Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg","first-page":"1143","article-title":"Long-term results of surgical therapy for masticatory muscle tendon-aponeurosis hyperplasia accompanied by limited mouth opening","volume":"38","author":"Yoda\n              T,","year":"2009","unstructured":"Yoda\n              T, \n            \n              Sato\n              T, \n            \n              Abe\n              T, \n            \n              Sakamoto\n              I, \n            et al. \n          Long-term results of surgical therapy for masticatory muscle tendon-aponeurosis hyperplasia accompanied by limited mouth opening.
