ABSTRACT

Trisomy 15 is a rare genetic disorder presenting unique anesthetic challenges. This is a case of a patient with Trisomy 15 and unrepaired ventriculo-septal defect presented for emergent removal of a subglottic tracheal granuloma. Developed anesthetic plan allowed the patient to breathe spontaneously with a combination of inhalational and intravenous anesthetics. Our technique offered optimal operating conditions and adequate depth of anesthesia. The important points of the case include an understanding of the physical characteristics of a patient with Trisomy 15 and unrepaired ventriculo-septal defect and an anesthetic plan for emergent removal of an obstructing subglottic granuloma via rigid bronchoscopy.
