In the operating room, unanticipated difficult intubation can occur and anesthesiologists can experience challenging situations. Undiagnosed tracheal stenosis caused by congenital factors, trauma, tumors, or post-intubation injury, can make advancing the endotracheal tube difficult. We present an adult patient in whom we were unable to pass an endotracheal tube into the trachea. This was caused by undiagnosed congenital mid-tracheal stenosis with complete tracheal rings. When faced with an unanticipated difficult airway, the anesthesiologist needs to comprehend the results of preoperative evaluations. If an unusual situation (e.g., congenital tracheal stenosis) occurs, active cooperation with other departments should be considered.

Difficult airway, in other means having problems during tracheal intubation, is quite comman in daily practice. When a unknown or unexpected difficult airway is faced, rapid intervention and appropriate management of the situation is life-saving. In this case report a patient who needed re-intubation due to respiratory distress caused by dry secretions in trachea during ICU follow-up after cardiac valve surgery. The process of unexpected difficulty in re-intubation was managed effectively by rapid and appropriate approach.
