Abstract :
Anaesthetic management of pediatric patient with facial and upper airway vascular malformation (VM) is extremely challenging and it multiplies further if sclerothearpy is planned on the airway especially outside the operation theatre. It encompasses a broad spectrum of issues like sharing of airway, risk of laryngospasm, aspiration of blood, severe torrential uncontrolled bleeding leading to loss of airway, and airway edema post sclerothearpy. Here we discuss anaesthetic management of a seven year old girl with VM over entire tongue, lower lip, right lower cheek and neck posted for ultrasound guided sclerothearpy of tongue in radiology suite.
