[A case of ilioinguinal hernia with Möbius syndrome].

Abstract

We gave general anesthesia for an infant with ilioinguinal hernia and Möbius syndrome. Anesthesia was performed with sevoflurane inhalation and intravenous infusion of remifentanil. Intraoperative anesthetic course was uneventful. Möbius syndrome is a syndrome of rhombencephalic maldevelopment involving predominantly motor nuclei and axons, as well as traversing long tracts. Airway management is a great challenge in these patients. Micrognathia, retrognathia, mandibular hypoplasia, and palatine cleft are some of the manifestations seen in these patients.
