Popis: Chondrodysplasia punctata syndrome is a group of rare congenital diseases that give rise to malformations, mainly skeletal, linked to the premature calcification of structures. There is little in the literature in the field of Anaesthesiology on this despite there being some clinical manifestations, particularly the possibility of difficult airway, which may be of importance during the peri-operative period. During the first years of life, the patients affected are often subjected to repeated surgery to correct their malformations. We describe the anaesthetic treatment during orthopaedic surgery of a paediatric patient with Conradi-Hunermann type chondrodysplasia punctata, highlighting the managementof the airway using a laryngeal mask in combination with balanced general anaesthesia with remifentanil. We also present a review of the characteristics of the different entities of these syndromes, with special emphasis on the aspects most relevant to the anaesthesiologist.
