This is a case report of a difficult airway in an otherwise healthy patient with cholecystolithiasis, scheduled for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. The difficult airway was not due to bad anatomical conditions, disease or trauma. It was a rare complication of an endoscopic procedure. Fibreoptic tracheal intubation was the solution.

Keywords: difficult airway; difficult tracheal intubation; fibreoptic tracheal intubation
