Abstract

Freeman–Sheldon syndrome¹ is a rare progressive myopathic disorder. The presence of difficult airway, poor venous access, and possible susceptibility to malignant hyperthermia make anesthesia management challenging in these patients.² We report the case of a child with Freeman–Sheldon syndrome with microstomia posted for posterior release of clubfoot.
