Popis: William Syndrome (WS) is a rare genetic condition related to deletion of elastin gene resulting in distinctive facies, cardiovascular diseases, learning difficulties, developmental delay, unique personality characteristics, endocrine involvement, etc.1 Although successful anaesthesia is reported, literature review indicate significant major adverse cardiac events (MACE) including sudden death, as frequent.2 So anaesthetic management of these patients has proved to be challenging. The cardiovascular abnormality, corrected QT, and cardio-depressant actions of anaesthetic drugs need critical considerations.
