Conclusion and Results
Overall, this case report demonstrated a successful anesthetic
management for a pediatric patient with a congenital disorder of
glycosylation and a family history of malignant hyperthermia. Congenital
disorders, such as ALG-13, can impact anesthetic management not only by
medication and anesthetic interactions, but also via anatomic phenotypes
which can increase morbidity and mortality by presence of a difficult
airway.15 We highlight the importance of a
comprehensive evaluation to factor in all anesthetic considerations.
