Anaesthetic Considerations in Neurofibromatosis Complicated with Kyphoscoliosis and Restrictive Lung Disease
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Neurofibromatosis is a genetically transmitted disease arising from the nervous tissue. It is associated with widespread systemic manifestations that pose a challenging situation to the anaesthesiologist. Kyphoscoliosis is one of the musculoskeletal anomalies that present in 10% of patients with neurofibromatosis I. The present case discusses the anaesthetic considerations of a known case of NF I with associated kyphoscoliosis who was posted for surgical removal of mass from the right iliac crest and thigh under spinal anaesthesia. A thorough pre anaesthetic evaluation and workup turn out to be the cornerstone in management of such cases.
