Abstract (2. Language): 
Patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis may require surgical interventions for hip or spine pathology. They may necessitate use of general anaesthesia with secured airway in certain situations, despite the fact that airway management is a challenge owing to disease process itself. Here we report a case of severe Ankylosing Spondylitis posted for bilateral hip replacement under general anaesthesia with specific focus on airway management.
