Crouzon syndrome (CS) is an autosomal dominant disorder seen in about 1 in 60000 live births. The affected individuals are found to have facial dysmorphism, cranial synostosis and exophthalmos among other systemic involvement involving the heart and lungs. The primary concern for an anesthesiologist during administration of general anaesthesia for a patient with CS is the airway management. We report the successful anesthetic management of a pediatric case of CS who underwent a neurosurgical procedure.
