Abstract
We report on a 20-year-old patient with McCune-Albright syndrome suffering from global respiratory insufficiency who required continuous mask ventilation and where intubation had to be avoided. Perivascular axillary anesthesia according to Weber was performed for a double corrective osteotomy of the humerus. During plexus anesthesia the patient was positioned on the non-anesthesized side in a 15 degrees Trendelenburg position. An extension of analgesia was observed up to the complete upper arm region. Using the modified positioning an extension of brachial plexus anesthesia is possible.
