Anaesthesia Management in a Paediatric Patient with Goldenhar Syndrome and Hemifacial Microsomia Undergoing Distraction Osteogenesis

Dr. Tejas Patil

Abstract: This case report discusses the perioperative management of an 8-year-old girl diagnosed with Goldenhar syndrome and hemifacial microsomia, undergoing distraction osteogenesis of the right mandible. The patient presented with significant craniofacial and systemic anomalies, including congenital fusion of cervical vertebrae, cross-fused ectopic kidney, and a dysplastic temporomandibular joint. The surgical and anesthetic management emphasized careful preoperative assessment, airway management, and intraoperative monitoring to address the complexities associated with this rare condition. Postoperative care included ICU observation, ensuring a stable recovery. This report highlights the multidisciplinary approach required for managing Goldenhar syndrome, focusing on anesthesia and surgical considerations.
