    Abstract Ectodermal dysplasia, a heterogeneous group of rare genetic disorders, is characterized by the aberrant development of ectodermal structures, leading to various clinical anomalies. This case report presents a unique and challenging case of a 33-year-old male with ectodermal dysplasia who underwent Le Fort III advancement and implant rehabilitation surgery to address severe craniofacial and dental deficiencies. This case, characterized by facial dysmorphism, craniofacial anomalies, and the absence of a nasal bone, highlights the complexity of surgical planning required to address these diverse clinical features. The crucial element of this report is the innovative approach to airway management through trans mylohyoid/submental intubation, which successfully navigated the patient's aberrant anatomy. Multidisciplinary collaboration played a pivotal role in achieving a holistic and patient-centered approach. By sharing this case, we aim to provide insights into the nuances of managing complex patients with ectodermal dysplasia, emphasizing the importance of individualized care, innovative techniques, and interdisciplinary teamwork to optimize patient outcomes and contribute to advancing medical knowledge.

    Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has evolved into a pivotal intervention in critical care, offering a lifeline for patients facing severe respiratory or cardiac failure. This review provides a comprehensive exploration of ECMO, spanning its definition and historical background to its contemporary advancements and ongoing impact in critical care. The versatility of ECMO in addressing diverse critical conditions, careful patient selection criteria, and the nuanced management of complications are discussed. Advances in technology, including miniaturization, novel circuit designs, and the integration of remote monitoring, showcase the evolving landscape of ECMO. The review underscores the ongoing impact of ECMO in improving survival rates, enhancing mobility, and enabling remote expertise. As a symbol of hope and innovation, ECMO's lifesaving potential is evident in its ability to navigate the complexities of critical care and redefine the boundaries of life support interventions.
