Key result
General anaesthesia in a patient with Klippel-Feil syndrome type 2 and Sprengel's deformity presented significant airway management challenges requiring specific anaesthetic considerations.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the anaesthetic considerations and challenges in airway management for a patient with Klippel-Feil syndrome type 2 and Sprengel's deformity.
Case report underscores airway challenges in Klippel-Feil syndrome; leaves open optimal techniques for this rare condition.
Klippel–Feil syndrome is one of the congenital causes of difficult airway. It is characterised by a classic triad of a short neck, restricted cervical spine movement, and a low posterior hairline, which can pose a significant challenge to the anaesthetist during airway management. A case of Klippel Feil Syndrome type 2 with associated Sprengel’s deformity for panendoscopy under general anaesthesia is presented. The anaesthetic considerations in the management of this patient are also discussed.
