Anesthetic management for Birt–Hogg–Dube syndrome case
Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) syndrome is a rare syndrome which is usually inherited but may occur <i>de novo</i>. It usually presents with cutaneous manifestations, pneumothorax, and, most importantly, renal tumors. Spinal anesthesia was used in this case to avoid respiratory complications such as pneumothorax.
