Anaesthetic Implications in a Case of Metabolic Leukodystrophy
Keywords:
Metachromatic leukodystrophy, anaesthetic technique, general anaesthesia
Abstract
Metachromatic leukodystrophy is a progressive, inherited and neurodegenerative disease. A patient suffering from this disease poses a lot of anaesthetic problems. We have successfully anaesthetized a female child with general anaesthesia who was suffering from metabolic leukodystrophy.
