A 38 year old male patient with Le Forte's type 2 fracture was scheduled for maxillofacial surgery. The surgical constraints precluded the use of oral and nasal route of intubation. This case report describes the use of submental route of intubation with oral portex preformed tube and the associated anaesthetic difficulties encountered during the initial part of the surgery.
