ACOSTA-MARTINEZ, Jesús et al. Cephaloskeletal dysplasia (Taybi-Linder syndrome): Case report and anesthetic considerations. Rev. colomb. anestesiol. [online]. 2016, vol.44, n.1, pp.40-43. ISSN 0120-3347.
Introduction: Microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism (or Taybi-Linder syndrome) is a rare disease characterized by bone and central nervous system malformations, in addition to intrauterine retardation. Case presentation: 20-year-old patient operated on for adhesiolysis and enteropexy due to bowel obstruction from post surgical adhesions. Conclusion: The anesthetic considerations in these patients include the potential airway impairment secondary to facial malformations and neurological complications, primarily seizures.
