Anaesthetic management of the Kenny-Caffey syndrome using the laryngeal mask

E L Janke et al. Paediatr Anaesth. 1996.

Abstract

We report the anaesthetic management of a nine-year-old, 6.8 kg, 75 cm tall female with the Kenny-Caffey syndrome presenting for strabismus surgery. Dysmorphic features in our patient included a hypoplastic mandible. A neonatal (size 1) laryngeal mask was successfully used for management of the airway whilst providing surgical access. The general features of this rare syndrome are presented and the literature reviewed.
