Goldenhar's syndrome is a congenital developmental defect of structures of the first and second branchial arches. We aim to present our anaesthetic management of an 18 month-old male patient with Goldenhar's syndrome scheduled for herniography. Facial asymmetry, right ear atresia, preauricular appendix, micrognathy and aural defect were identified in the physical examination. Difficult intubation was presumed in patient due to facial asymmetry. Airways, endotracheal tubes, blades and LMA in different sizes were prepared and permission was obtained from the family to create a tracheostomy if necessary. Sevoflurane in %50 O2- %50 N2O was used for anaesthetic induction and mask ventilation was uneventful. Laryngoscopy was tried using no. 1 sized Miller blade, and but as the blade was considered large, laryngoscopy was repeated with no. 0 sized blade. The patient was intubated with (ID) 3,5mm uncuffed tube. Maintenance of anaesthesia was managed by administered of sevoflurane in %50 O2- %50 N2O. No complications were observed during the operation and after the recovery period which lasted fifty minutes. We believe that, in these patients, a full preoperative evaluation should be administered in terms of intubation or additional pathologies and get prepared for a possible difficult intubation.

Goldenhar's Sendromlu Hastada Genel Anestezi Uygulaması

Öz

Goldenhar's sendromu birinci ve ikinci brankiyal arkdan gelişen yapıların konjenital defektidir. İnguinal herni nedeniyle herniografi planlanan Goldenhar's sendromlu 18 aylık erkek hasta preoperatif olarak değerlendirildi. Fizik muayenede fasiyal asimetri, sağ kulak atrezisi, preauriküler appendiks, mikrognati ve duyma defekti olduğu tespit edildi. Hastada fasial asimetriye bağlı zor entübasyon olabileceği düşünüldü. Çeşitli boyutlarda airway, endotrakeal tüp, bleyd ve LMA hazırlandı ve gerektiğinde trakeostomi açılabilmesi için aileden izin alındı. Anestezi indüksiyonu %50 O2- %50 N2O içerisinde sevofluran ile sağlandı ve maske ventilasyonunda sıkıntı yaşanmadı. Laringoskopi uygulaması 1 numara Miller bleyd ile denendi, bleydin büyük olduğu düşünülerek 0 numaralı bleyd ile laringoskopi tekrarlandı. ve 3,5 numaralı kafsız tüple entübe edildi. Anestezi idamesi %50 O2- %50 N2O içerisinde sevofluran ile sağlandı. Elli dakika süren operasyon süresince ve sonrasında komplikasyon yaşanmadı. Bu hastalarda gerek entübasyon gerek ek patolojiler yönünden tam bir preoperatif değerlendirme yapılması ve olası zor entübasyona karşı hazırlıklı olunması gerektiği düşüncesindeyiz.
