TABLE 1.

Anesthetic challenges expected and the management.

Anesthetic concern Challenges expected Management in our case
Limited neck mobility, a Mallampati IV classification, a short thyromental distance and dysgenic teeth Potential difficult airway Awake fibrobronchoscopeā€guided endotracheal intubation
Brittle bones and limb deformities
  1. Possible fractures during transfer, positioning, monitoring.

  2. Difficult monitoring and bony pressure points

  1. Gentleness in transferring, positioning for regional and surgical procedure

  2. Invasive blood pressure management

Severe scoliosis
  1. Difficult central neuraxial block

  2. Restrictive lung disease

  1. Neuraxial anesthesia precluded

  2. Lung protective ventilation strategies and postoperative physiotherapy

Risk of malignant hyperthermia Increased risk of GA Inhalation anesthetics and succinylcholine avoided
