Introduction:
Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome (PLS) is a rare autosomal recessive trait; it often requires some interventions with general anesthesia because of the accompanied complications.
Case Presentation:
We report a 19-year-old girl with palmoplantar hyperkeratosis who presented total loss of her teeth. She was candidate to mandibular bone graft and lower jaw dental implants under general anesthesia.
Conclusions:
There are only a few studies about perioperative management of these patients; however, the anesthesiologists should consider a few important issues during pre-operative and intra-operative management.
