Abstract

Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita is a disease which is characterized by congenital multiple joint contractures. This disease with its risks of difficult airway, difficult intra­venous access and malign hypethermia attack is a chal­lenging condition for anesthesiologists. In this paper, we report our anesthetic management experience for scolio­sis surgery in a case with arthrogryposis multiplex con­genita.
