    Successful anesthetic and airway management in Coffin-Siris syndrome with congenital heart disease: Case report
    (2016) Altun, Dilek; Demir, Guray; Ayhan, Asude; Turkoz, Ayda; 0000-0003-3299-6706; AAR-7467-2020; AAJ-2066-2021; AAJ-2057-2021
    Introduction: Coffin-Siris Syndrome (CSS) is a rare congenital malformation syndrome characterized with mild to severe developmental and cognitive delay, coarse facial features, fifth digit aplasia or hypoplasia associated with ectodermal, constitutional and organ-related (cardiac/neurolo gical/gastrointestinal/genitourinary...) anomalies. Here, we have reported a successful anesthetic and airway management in a case of 5-year old boy with CSS who underwent congenital heart surgery. Case report: A 5-year old male child weighing 14 kg, who was diagnosed as CSS underwent operation for the repair of partial atrioventricular septal defect and secundum atrial septal defect. This case report pertains to the successful anesthetic and airway management in the background of difficult airway and presence of various cardiac abnormalities. Although patient was anticipated to be difficult for intubation due to laryngomalacia, micrognathia, macroglossia, tracheal intubation was performed without any difficulty using fiber-optic laryngoscopy. At the end of the operation, the patient was transferred to the cardiovascular intensive care unit and was extubated when his spontaneous breathing was satisfactory 4 h later after the operation without any complication. Results and discussion: CSS often requires surgery and anesthetic intervention. The abnormal facial and airway as well as mental related features may lead intubation difficult, potentially due to short neck, large tongue and lips, poor dentition and poor communication. Thinking that the practicing anesthetist needs to have appropriate knowledge for this entity and the equipment for managing difficult airway should readily be available. One of these patients which successfully managed without any complication was described in this brief report.

    Case report of a rarely seen long-segment middle aortic syndrome
    (2017) Erdogan, Ilkay; Yakut, Kahraman; 0000-0001-6887-3033; 28424443; AAJ-2305-2021; ABB-2220-2021
    Middle aortic syndrome (MAS) follows a course with distal thoracic and abdominal aorta stenosis. It is a rare disease that is usually diagnosed after the first decade of life. Clinical reflection of MAS is often in the form of hypertension and claudication in the lower extremities. Its etiology is unclear, but is known to be associated with congenital or acquired diseases. This pathology, which is accompanied by malignant hypertension, often does not respond to medical treatment. In patients with MAS, surgical treatment is first line recommendation to prevent complications such as hypertension, heart failure, intracranial bleeding, or aortic rupture. In order to draw attention to this disease, presently described is case of high blood pressure detected during routine examination of a child who had no complaint, and discovery of long-segment stenosis in the abdominal aorta identified with echocardiography and conventional angiography.

    Hybrid approach: an alternative prior to corrective surgery in a patient with arch hypoplasia and complete atrioventricular septal defect
    (2018) Celik, Mehmet; Gokdemir, Mahmut; Cindik, Nimet; Ozkan, Murat; 32082782
    The hybrid approach is mostly preferred in patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome or univentricular physiology. Here, the hybrid approach is applied as a palliative procedure prior to corrective surgery in a patient with complete atrioventricular septal defect associated with arcus hypoplasia and results are discussed according to the literature.
