Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Genetics
  • Dentistry

Background:

  • Leopard syndrome is a rare inherited disorder characterized by multiple lentigines and a high prevalence of cardiac abnormalities.
  • Cardiac complications, including cardiomyopathy and electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities, are significant concerns in patients with Leopard syndrome.

Observation:

  • This case report describes the management of general anaesthesia for dental treatment in a patient with Leopard syndrome who presented with cardiomyopathy and bizarre ECG abnormalities.
  • The patient's complex cardiac status necessitated careful perioperative monitoring and management.

Findings:

  • A thorough cardiac assessment is crucial for all patients with multiple lentigines, even in the absence of apparent symptoms or signs.
  • Cardiac abnormalities associated with Leopard syndrome can be progressive and may develop or worsen over time, even if initially insignificant.

Implications:

  • Regular cardiac reassessment is vital for patients with Leopard syndrome, particularly before procedures like dental treatment under general anaesthesia.
  • Early detection and management of cardiac complications are essential for improving patient outcomes and ensuring safe treatment protocols.
