Case report demonstrates effective perioperative pain control with epidural analgesia in a pediatric patient with an SCN1A mutation, suggesting a viable anesthetic option for abdominal surgery.
Sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit (SCN1A) gene mutation is a rare disorder with a large spectrum of clinical presentations. Little is known regarding anaesthetic and analgesic management of these patients. We present a case of a child with SCN1A gene mutation that was successfully managed with an epidural for perioperative analgesia for an abdominal surgery.
