RESUMO
Spontaneous pneumothorax in patients with Marfan syndrome is common. Even a small pneumothorax can become a tension pneumothorax under positive pressure ventilation. Sometimes anaesthesiologists have to cater to more than one complication intraoperatively. Thorough knowledge of the subject and availability of monitors and anaesthesiologist in the operation theater as in general anaesthesia during locoregional anaesthesia is mandatory to avoid occurrence of catastrophy.
