    Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) patients face significant anesthesia and surgical risks due to progressive complications. Careful pre-operative evaluation and management are crucial for safe surgical outcomes in MPS patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Genetics
    • Anesthesiology
    • Pediatric Surgery

    Background:

    • Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) comprises hereditary diseases marked by mucopolysaccharide accumulation, primarily affecting bone and cartilage.
    • These progressive conditions frequently necessitate surgical interventions, carrying substantial per- and postoperative risks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review current knowledge on mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS).
    • To highlight serious complications associated with anesthesia and surgery in MPS patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Comprehensive review of existing literature on MPS.
    • Analysis of clinical manifestations and anesthetic challenges.

    Main Results:

    • MPS presents with characteristic features like dwarfism, facial anomalies, skeletal deformities, and organomegaly.

  • Airway anomalies, bleeding, and salivation complicate intubation, necessitating careful anesthetic management.
  • Postoperative care must address secretion stagnation and infections.

    • Conclusions:

    • Thorough pre-operative evaluation, including lung function optimization, is essential.
    • Spontaneous respiration during induction and careful intubation are recommended.
    • Local/regional anesthesia with sedation may be preferable; vigilant monitoring is vital throughout the perioperative period.
