Anaesthetic considerations for a child with combined Prader-Willi syndrome and mitochondrial myopathy

Paediatr Anaesth. 2001 Jul;11(4):488-90. doi: 10.1046/j.1460-9592.2001.00696.x.

Abstract

We report the anaesthetic management of a child with Prader-Willi syndrome and mitochondrial myopathy for open heart surgery. We used ketamine, fentanyl, rocuronium and caudal morphine together with a propofol infusion with no untoward effects. The implications of both conditions for anaesthesia are discussed.
