Fig. 1. Endoscopic view of oral WuScope intubation in patient 1. As the blade approaches the vallecula, lumps of soft, redundant, papillomatous tonsil tissue were seen at the base of the tongue (A ), extending to the lingual surface of the epiglottis (B ). When the tip of the WuScope blade exerted slight tension on the glossoepiglottic mucous membrane, the epiglottis was raised easily and the glottic opening was exposed fully (C ) and intubated (D ).
