Multidisciplinary Management of Acute Tetraparesis in an Infant with Achondroplasia, with a Focus on Anesthetic Strategies: A Case Report

This case report underscores the crucial need for a multidisciplinary approach in managing children with achondroplasia, especially with foramen magnum stenosis and complex cervical spine injuries. Anesthetic management required meticulously planned airway strategies using advanced techniques like video laryngoscopy and fiberoptic bronchoscopy to reduce airway risks. It also highlights the importance of conservative therapy paired with timely neurosurgical intervention, resulting in the patient's full recovery.

Abstract

This case report underscores the crucial need for a multidisciplinary approach in managing children with achondroplasia, especially with foramen magnum stenosis and complex cervical spine injuries. Anesthetic management required meticulously planned airway strategies using advanced techniques like video laryngoscopy and fiberoptic bronchoscopy to reduce airway risks. It also highlights the importance of conservative therapy paired with timely neurosurgical intervention, resulting in the patient's full recovery.
