AbstractSystemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS) is an idiopathic vascular hyperpermeability that leads to profound hypotension, hypoalbuminemia, and hemoconcentration. Sixty years since its inauguration into literature, SCLS is still elusive, underdiagnosed, and profoundly dangerous. Few authors have documented anesthetic implications of classical acute SCLS, a form with complete recovery between exacerbations. However, minimal information is available about chronic SCLS, continuous generalized edema with or without exacerbations. Both forms are postulated to have similar pathogenesis, yet clinical differences are noteworthy, warranting variations in perioperative management. We present a patient with chronic SCLS who underwent general and regional anesthesia for elective surgery.
