Anesthesia management in Bart's syndrome: A case report

Abstract

Bart's syndrome is a genetic disorder that is also associated with epidermolysis bullosa (EB), which is characterized by congenital focal absence of the skin, mechanical bullous, and nail dystrophy. We present the anesthesia management of a male neonate with congenital localized skin absence, nail dystrophy, and ear atrophy who underwent surgery due to congenital pyloric atrophy. Palliative measures were perforemed paying attention to skin lesions in areas of rich-red peeling on the hands and feet of the patient, and standard general inhalation anesthesia was administered. As far as I could research in the English literature, this case report may be the first case report to present the management of anesthesia in a patient with Bart syndrome.
