Popis: Key Clinical Message Femoral hypoplasia‐unusual facies syndrome is a rare condition of unknown etiology. The phenotype consists of significant femoral hypoplasia with characteristic facial malformations that often overlap with findings seen in patients with Pierre Robin sequence. Anesthesia providers must prepare for difficult intravenous access, difficult airway management, and uncertainties with regional anesthesia. Abstract Femoral hypoplasia‐unusual facies syndrome (FHUFS) or femoral facial syndrome is a rare and sporadic condition of unknown etiology. The phenotype consists of significant femoral hypoplasia with characteristic facial malformations that often overlap with findings seen in patients with Pierre Robin sequence. FHUFS is known to cause challenges with anesthesia, including difficulty with endotracheal intubation. Anesthesia providers must be aware of the possible coexistence of FHUFS and Pierre Robin sequence. They need to prepare for difficult intravenous access, difficult airway management, and uncertainties with regional anesthesia.
