Anesthesia for Excision of Laryngeal and Tracheal Papillomatosis in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report

Abstract

Laryngeal papillomatosis is a rare disease of viral etiology that can obstruct the airway. Symptomatic treatment is essentially surgical. Anesthetic management needs special attention due to a narrow airway that will be shared with the surgical team. We discuss the perioperative management of a child with recurrent papillomatosis and possible strategies to manage similar cases.
