Abstract

Proteus syndrome is a rare, complex, and progressive disorder characterized by tissue overgrowth, deformities, and vascular anomalies. We present a case of a 56-year-old patient with Proteus syndrome who underwent successful incision and drainage an ulcerative lesion on a Cerebriform connective tissue nevus on the left plantar surface under spinal anesthesia. The patient had a history of mild lumbar scoliosis and a previous hospitalization for pulmonary embolism. Due to the patient's difficult airway and increased risk of thromboembolism, spinal anesthesia was chosen as the anesthetic technique. The procedure was carried out without complications, and the patient had a satisfactory postoperative recovery.
