Abstract

  Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) is a group of inherited disorders of connective tissue metabolism. Although these disorders are rare but often these patients undergo multiple surgeries under anaesthesia to improve their quality of life. We are describing here the anaesthetic considerations and management of a 7 year old child with Hurler syndrome, who presented for an Adenotonsillectomy.
