AbstractAnesthetizing a patient with osteogenesis imperfecta is an uncommon and challenging event for most anesthesiologists. The manifestations of this disease directly affect anesthetic management. The choice of anesthetic technique must be carefully considered in view of the abnormalities in such patients. Local or regional anesthesia is very useful in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta, but when general anesthesia is mandatory ketamine hydrochloride is often a good choice. Close monitoring during anesthesia and surgery is essential.
