Abstract
Mucopolysaccharidoses are uncommon genetic diseases with multisystem involvement. The potential for airway difficulties and varying success rate of neuraxial blockade demands considerable expertise in the anesthetic management in these patients. Airway management has evolved significantly in such syndromic patients with the increasing use of video laryngoscopes and Supraglottic airway devices. However, airway catastrophes are not uncommon. This calls for better utilization of neuraxial and peripheral nerve blocks along with the use of newer agents for sedation having a favorable pharmacological profile. Here, we present a case of child having Hurler disease with an inguinal hernia successfully operated under subarachnoid blockade.
