Abstract:
Failure of epidural anaesthesia in a patient with Hurler's disease is presented. The possibility that epidural anaesthesia may fail due to deposition of mucopolysaccharide in the meninges, or in the epidural space is discussed. A granuloma in the upper trachea and severe choanal stenosis complicated the already difficult airway management.
