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.

Keywords : Metachromatic leukodystrophy; anaesthetic technique; general anaesthesia; (Fuente: DeCS, BIREME).
