- Abstract
The Marshall-Smith Syndrome (MSS) is a rare disease characterized by orofacial dysmorphism, failure to thrive, accelerated osseous maturation and mental retardation. It has anaesthetic implications due to upper airway problems and possible atlanto-axial instability. We present the perioperative problems (difficult intubation, airway obstruction) encountered in a child with MSS who underwent several anaesthetics during his first two years of life.
