Peri-operative management of a patient with an ectodermal dysplasia (Rapp-Hodgkin) syndrome.
Anaesthesia reports. 2023
We present the case of a 41-year-old man with Rapp-Hodgkin syndrome who underwent nasal septum deviation surgery under general anaesthesia. This syndrome is rare, with approximately 70 cases reported worldwide. It is one of a group of ectodermal dysplasia syndromes and results from the aberrant development of ectoderm during fetal development. Some of the clinical features may affect anaesthetic management. The most important considerations are potentially difficult airway management, the need for meticulous temperature control, and the importance of skin protection. This case was uneventful, but as there are few case reports on the management of patients with ectodermal dysplasia syndromes undergoing anaesthesia this report contributes useful knowledge. The pathogenesis and clinical features of Rapp-Hodgkin syndrome and the anaesthetic management for this patient are described.
