    AbstractWe describe the anesthetic and perioperative management of a child with Langer-Giedion syndrome (trichorhinophalangeal syndrome type II). This is a very rare genetic syndrome caused by 8q chromosome deletion. The clinical features of this syndrome include craniofacial and urogenital abnormities, variable postnatal growth deficiency with mental retardation, multiple exostoses, hyperflexible joints, and recurrent respiratory tract infections. Potential perioperative problems are highlighted.
