This study details anesthesia management for a 14-year-old with Proteus syndrome undergoing leg surgery. Airway challenges were successfully navigated using a fiberoptic bronchoscope and mechanical ventilation.

Area of Science:

Anesthesiology
Medical Genetics

Background:

Proteus syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by asymmetric, segmental overgrowth.
Anesthetic considerations for patients with Proteus syndrome are not well-documented in medical literature.

Observation:

A 14-year-old male patient with diagnosed Proteus syndrome required orthopedic surgery on his legs.
The patient presented with significant airway challenges, necessitating specialized management during anesthesia induction.

Findings:

Airway management was achieved via tracheal intubation facilitated by a fiberoptic bronchoscope under sedation.
Anesthesia was induced using thiopental and maintained with nitrous oxide and isoflurane in oxygen.
Mechanical ventilation was employed throughout the surgical procedure, which proceeded without complications.

Implications:

This case highlights a successful anesthetic approach for managing airway difficulties in Proteus syndrome.
The described technique provides a potential strategy for future anesthetic care in similar complex pediatric cases.
Further research into anesthetic protocols for rare genetic syndromes like Proteus syndrome is warranted.
