| Abstrakt: |
A 14- yr-old boy with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) presented for surgery for bilateral division of his ossified masseter muscles. Patients with FOP may present problems to the anaesthetist, including difficulties with tracheal intubation, restrictive pulmonary disease and abnormalities of cardiac conduction. With our patient sedated the trachea was intubated using a fibrescope and anaesthesia was induced and maintained with nitrous oxide and enflurane in oxygen. Ventilation was controlled throughout surgery and recovery was uneventful. |
