Abstract
Kleefstra syndrome (KS) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by a chromosomal deletion at 9q34.3 resulting in pathogenic variants of the gene that codes for the enzyme, euchromatin histone methyltransferase 1 (EHMT1). KS is a rare, yet clinically relevant congenital disorder for anesthesiologists because of its potential for cardiac and craniofacial involvement. We present a 3-month-old patient with KS who required anesthetic care for diagnostic laryngoscopy and rigid bronchoscopy. The end-organ effects of KS are reviewed and our anesthetic care presented.
