Anesthetic management of a patient with Lowe syndrome accompanied by end stage renal disease: A case report

ABSTRACT

Lowe syndrome is a rare genetic condition that involves three major organs eyes, brain, and kidney. Anesthetic management can be challenged by problems associated with high ocular pressure, mental retardation, and renal tubular dysfunction. We report a case of a 17 year-old boy with Lowe syndrome accompanied by end-stage renal disease who underwent general anesthesia for arteriovenous fistula formation. The Anesthetic implications of this syndrome are also described.
