Abstract
Background: Adequate facemask ventilation during induction of anaesthesia is a key aspect of patient safety.
Difficulties can therefore be life-threatening for the patient.
Case presentation: The case presented here illustrates a rare cause of an orbital fistula that led to a serious problem
during facemask ventilation and demonstrates why team communication is so important.
Conclusions: Preparatory errors in patient assessment and anaesthetic preparation were identified as sources of error
