Anaesthesia and Prader-Willi syndrome.

A review of a case series of sixteen anaesthetics in eight cases was undertaken to determine whether children with Prader-Willi syndrome present particular problems to the anaesthetist. Children in an early stage of the condition who are below their centile for weight present no specific problems. Children who are heavier than 97th centile weight have problems associated with their obesity: difficult intravenous access and sleep apnoea. Scoliosis was noted in both groups and was not associated with problems after minor surgery.

Anaesthesia for Cockayne syndrome. Three case reports.

Cockayne syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive condition producing a dwarfed, mentally retarded infant or child. Problems with airway management and an increased risk of gastric aspiration are the main anaesthetic concerns. Anaesthetics given to three patients with Cockayne syndrome are described. In two of these, tracheal intubation was difficult and the use of a laryngeal mask airway proved invaluable.

Anaesthesia for Rett syndrome.

Rett syndrome is a devastatingly disabling neurological disease that is only observed in girls. Scoliosis occurs in roughly half the girls and surgery may be required. Anaesthesia is described in three patients. Sudden death may be a feature of the disease which occurred four weeks postoperatively in one case. Although a long QTc interval may be seen, it did not occur in any of our cases.
