FATCO syndrome consists of fibular hemimelia, tibial campomelia and oligosyndactyly. FATCO syndrome can also be associated with other congenital anomalies; therefore, every case needs thorough evaluation so as to make the management of the patient easier. A few cases of this syndrome have been described in literature but only two cases have been reported in India so far. We present a 3-year-old male child born of a non-con-sanguinous marriage with FATCO syndrome and ipilateral talar aplasia without any other congenital anomalies.

A case of a 17-month-old boy with dissegmental dysplasia of the Rolland-Desbuquois type, who was scheduled for bilateral inguinal herniotomy, is presented. Preoperative assessment showed limited mouth opening, head extension, and kyphosis. Intubation with a size 4 mm endotracheal tube (ETT) was achieved with fiberoptic bronchoscopy, after which surgery proceeded uneventfully and the ETT was carefully removed. Copious airway secretions required frequent suctioning. On the second postoperative day, respiratory status stabilized, and the patient was discharged home.
