We report our anesthetic management of a neonate who presented with complete persistent buccopharyngeal membrane and unilateral choanal atresia, and underwent examination under anesthesia. Maintaining airway patency and spontaneous respiration were our priority. Intravenous propofol was used to maintain adequate anesthetic depth for flexible laryngotracheoscopy and nasotracheal intubation through the only patent passage. We encountered problems of bradycardia and hypotension. Tracheostomy was performed. Definitive management of the persistent buccopharyngeal membrane was carried out on day 14.

The mouth is a central feature of our face, without which we could not eat, breathe, or communicate. A critical and early event in mouth formation is the creation of a "hole" which connects the digestive system and the external environment. This hole, which has also been called the primary or embryonic mouth in vertebrates, is initially covered by a 1-2 cell layer thick structure called the buccopharyngeal membrane.

Objectives: Abnormal fetal tongue size is a phenotypic feature of various syndromes including Beckwith-Wiedemann, Pierre-Robin, oromandibular limb hypoplasia, chromosomal aberrations, etc. Current data regarding normal fetal tongue size are limited. Hence, micro/macroglossia are subjectively determined.
