GUERRERO-DOMINGUEZ, Rosana; LOPEZ-HERRERA-RODRIGUEZ, Daniel; ACOSTA-MARTINEZ, Jesús e JIMENEZ, Ignacio. Anaesthetic implications in Von Recklinghausen disease: A case report. Rev. colomb. anestesiol. [online]. 2015, vol.43, n.1, pp.107-110. ISSN 0120-3347.
Von Recklinghausen disease or neurofibromatosis Type I (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disease with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. Neurofibromas are the characteristic lesions. This disorder is associated with important anaesthetic considerations, mainly when neurofibromas occur in the oropharynx and larynx, leading to difficult laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation. We describe the anaesthetic management of a patient with NF1 under general anaesthesia for facial neurofibroma excision. We performed a brief review of the literature with the aim of optimizing the anaesthetic management and reducing the number of complications associated with the systemic manifestations of this syndrome.
