Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
William syndrome is a chromosomal anomaly characterized by developmental abnormalities, cardiac involvement, and craniofacial dysmorphic features. These set of pediatric patients present for various non-operating room anesthesia requiring imaging or procedure. This poses a unique challenge to anesthesiologists. Here, we report a case of anesthetic management of a 4-year-old child with William syndrome requiring cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. A thorough systemic review and anticipation of difficult airway ensured an uneventful anesthesia course for the child.
