  • Title: Anaesthetic management of an infant with cleft palate lateral synechiae syndrome.
    Author: Gayathri B, Venkatraman R, Murugan P, Ramamurthy B.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2023 Dec 28; 16(12):. PubMed ID: 38154862.
    Abstract:
    An infant with restricted mouth opening from birth had presented for cleft lip repair. He had an interalveolar gap of 6 mm and was diagnosed as a case of cleft palate lateral synechiae syndrome. Fibreoptic bronchoscope of appropriate size was not available at the time of the procedure, and we had to device an alternative plan. The case describes the common challenges that can arise while anaesthetising infants with this syndrome in a resource-limited setting and highlights the importance of adapting the protocol to the demands.
