Résumé
Anterior mediastinal mass presents an airway challenge due to its relative size in a paediatric chest and its invasion and compression of the surrounding structures. We present a case of a toddler with airway obstruction secondary to an anterior mediastinal mass. We describe how the use of an armoured endotracheal tube helped with ventilation while waiting for steroids and chemotherapy to reduce the tumour size and compression.
