“…The patient had to be awakened from anesthesia and airway was secured using fiberoptic bronchoscope after airway topicalization. [ 9 ] Difficult intubation has also been described by Kim and Kim wherein they intubated the trachea using airway exchange catheter inserted through LMA Fastrach. [ 10 ] Our patient had history and features suggestive of difficult airway (high-arched palate, retrognathia, postoperative noninvasive ventilation).…”

Anesthetic implications in a child with Crouzon syndrome

Crouzon syndrome (CS) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by craniofacial dysostosis. Premature fusion of skull base leads to midfacial hypoplasia, shallow orbit, mandibular prognathism, overcrowding of upper teeth, high-arched palate, and upper airway obstruction. It is important for anesthesiologists managing such patients to recognize and avoid potential airway complications. Here, we present a case of a 10-year-old child with CS posted for ptosis correction surgery. Use of peripheral nerve blocks to cut down opioid requirement, inhalational induction, and maintenance are key aspects in successful management of such cases.

“…in a case report reported difficulty in LMA insertion and ventilation in an adult patient of CS for orthopaedic surgery due to abnormal airway anatomy. [6] Conventional tracheostomy was also not a viable option due to lack of tracheal access above the sternum due to fused cervical vertebrae and extremely short neck, although front of neck access would have been relatively easier due to a lower cricoid cartilage and well-appreciated CTM. This along with the use of LMA was reserved for use in an emergent scenario.…”

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.
