“…To our knowledge, only one previous report has described a case of general anesthesia in a patient with typical WWS 2. The authors describe major difficulties in visualizing laryngeal structures during laryngoscopy using two different techniques, and eventually performed blind endotracheal intubation.…”

“…Concerns about an increased risk for central and obstructive apnea prompted us to avoid preoperative sedation in this child with severe neurologic impairment and muscular hypotonia 2,10. Regarding preoperative fasting requirements, a previous publication suggested that WWS might be associated with reduced gastrointestinal motility and an increased risk for pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents 10.…”

Key Clinical MessageWalker–Warburg syndrome is a rare congenital disorder. Several features, including muscular dystrophy, hydrocephalus, and oropharyngeal abnormalities, have important implications in the perioperative setting. We present a case of general anesthesia in an infant and discuss perioperative considerations to guide clinicians faced with the management of patients with this syndrome.

“…We avoided the use of succinylcholine, because it can cause hyperkalemia and malignant hyperthermia. Two case reports of patients with Walker–Warburg syndrome, another type of lissencephaly, have been published [ 5 , 6 ]; both described difficulties in airway management in patients with lissencephaly.…”

Management of general anesthesia in a child with Miller–Dieker syndrome: a case report

et al. 2015

Miller–Dieker syndrome (MDS) is a rare disorder characterized by type I lissencephaly and a distinctive facial appearance that may include prominent forehead, bitemporal hollowing, and micrognathia. MDS is associated with epilepsy. We here report an 18-month-old girl with MDS who required general anesthesia. The child had an extremely low Bispectral Index (BIS) value prior to undergoing general anesthesia. Her perioperative course was uneventful. This case highlights some of the important anesthetic concerns in patients with MDS, which include potentially difficult airways and extremely low BIS values.
