Abstract:
Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is a rare congenital anomaly complex characterized by hypodontia, hypotricosis and hypohidrosis. There have been only a few reports of anesthetic management of patients with HED. We managed a 20-year-old man with HED, who underwent debridement and skin grafting under epidural anesthesia, without untoward events. Potential problems in anesthetic management of patients with HED are also discussed.
