Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
General anesthesia is best avoided in cases of Klippel-Feil syndrome where tracheal intubation is potentially difficult. The syndrome features severe abnormalities of the neck and upper thoracic spine, which may also lead to difficulties with neuraxial blockade. We describe the use of epidural anesthesia for bilateral reduction mammoplasty in a patient with this condition. |
