| Hunter syndrome is one of the type II mucopolysaccharidoses, characterized by abnormal accumulation and deposition of mucopolysaccharides in the tissues of several organs. Organ dysfunction and anatomical abnormalities, especially in airway anatomy, which important to the anesthetist, can result in airway difficulty and difficult intubation causing serious complication. We experienced the successful airway management of a pediatric patient having mucopolysaccharidoses. We performed endotracheal intubation using fiberoptic laryngoscopy without any perioperative complication. |
