The anaesthetic management of an infant with frontometaphyseal dysplasia (Gorlin–Cohen syndrome)

Abstract: We describe an infant with frontometaphyseal dysplasia, who presented to us twice for anaesthesia for orthopaedic surgery. These patients have facial asymmetry, mandibular hypoplasia, bradycardia, restrictive lung disease, primary pulmonary hypertension, skeletal abnormalities and difficult endotracheal intubation. The patient also showed laryngeal stridor because of laryngomalacia, vocal cord paralysis and subglottic stenosis. Light premedication along with atropine, ECG and blood pressure monitoring, gradual… Show more

“…Congenital subglottic stenosis is a rare but well-known cause of stridor in infancy. Cases of subglottic stenosis have been reported to be associated with such clinical syndromes as the Fraser-like (1), frontometaphyseal (2)(3), ulnar-mammary (4) and Opitz BBBG syndromes (5)(6), as well as sponastrime dysplasia (7), but it usually occurs sporadically in otherwise healthy children, and familial occurrence has not been reported previously. This report describes siblings from two families with inspiratory stridor in infancy who had congenital subglottic stenosis not accompanied by other major anomalies.…”

“…When patients are scheduled for surgical procedures, routine preoperative medication may be given without fear of respiratory compromise. This statement is supported by case reports (Masuda, Harada, Honma, Ichimiya, & Namiki, 1990;Mehta & Schou, 1988;Monedero et al, 1997) and the opinion of the panel. Preoperative sedation given orally is commonly practiced in pediatric anesthesia.…”
