ABSTRACT
Seckel syndrome, also called bird-headed dwarfism, is an extremely rare, inherited, autosomal recessive disorder. The patients with Seckel syndrome are characterized by growth retardation, microcephaly with mental retardation, proportional dwarfism, bird like faces, and beak-like triangular nose. A literature review reveals that they have multiple anesthetic problems such as difficult airway management, difficult venous cannulation and concomitant medical diseases. We describe our experience in anesthetic management of a 21-month-old male patient with Seckel syndrome associated with pneumonia who underwent orchiopexy for bilateral cryptochidism.
