Anaesthetic considerations of adults with Morquio's syndrome - a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND The anaesthetic management of patients with Morquio syndrome is complicated by a number of factors including odontoid hypoplasia, atlantoaxial instability, thoracic kyphosis, and deposition of mucopolysaccharides in the soft tissue of the oropharnyx. CASE PRESENTATION Herein we describe the anaesthetic considerations and management of a 26 year old adult with Morquio syndrome, who presented for an elective hip replacement. CONCLUSION This report details an awake fiberoptic intubation in an adult with Morquio syndrome. We recommend that this approach be considered in patients with Morquio syndrome undergoing general anaesthesia.

The classification of the three groups on the basis of purely clinical criteria may be superseded when more information is available about the basic biochemical lesions. It is current practice (Nelson, 1964) to call those cases with the character...
