In patients with single ventricle heart defects, the Glenn procedure is performed to help alleviate cyanosis by rerouting blood flow from the superior vena cava directly to the pulmonary arteries and is completed prior to additional repair with the Fontan procedure. 1 , 2 Glenn circulation causes the blood from the inferior vena cava to mix with that in the pulmonary vein, leading to hypoxemia, cyanosis, 3 and secondary polycythemia. 4 We performed lip repair and palatoplasty under general anesthesia in a 1-year-old patient with left

risk of overinsertion and 1-lung intubation. In the present study, we report a case of a child with SEDC who underwent palatoplasty revision under general anesthesia. Written consent was obtained from the patient’s parents for the publication of this report. CASE PRESENTATION A young girl 5 years and 8 months of age (height 87 cm, weight 13 kg, body mass index 17.2 kg/m 2 ) with SEDC was scheduled to undergo palatoplasty revision under general anesthesia. Although the possibility of shortened lower limbs was identified during fetal ultrasonography, no

Emanuel syndrome is a rare recessive hereditary disorder, first described in 1976. 1 Most of the clinical information was published in the 1980s. 2 The features include tracheomalacia, micrognathia, seizure disorder, and congenital heart disease. 3 , 4 However, anesthetic management of these patients has been only minimally reported. 4 , 5 We report a case of a patient with Emanuel syndrome undergoing palatoplasty under general anesthesia. CASE REPORT The patient was a 2-year-old boy, 82.3 cm (32.4 in) in

This retrospective study evaluated the efficacy and safety of Microcuff® oral RAE tubes in Japanese children <2 years of age undergoing oral surgery. Preformed oral RAE Microcuff® endotracheal tube. Patients 2 to 24 months of age who underwent cheiloplasty or palatoplasty under general anesthesia at Osaka University Dental Hospital between April 2016 and October

for palatoplasty at 3 years of age, she experienced intraoperative metabolic acidosis, hypoglycemia, and fever up to 40°C, along with postoperative elevation of creatine phosphokinase. However, the hyperthermia resolved without any treatment. The patient subsequently underwent fistula closure at 12 years of age under general anesthesia with total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) using remifentanil and propofol without any adverse events. Accordingly, we suspected a potential history of malignant hyperthermia, possibly triggered by muscle glycogen storage disease (GSD-0

to treat mandibular hypoplasia, as well as palatoplasty and closure of an oronasal fistula secondary to her cleft palate, all under general anesthesia via a variety of airway management techniques ( Table ). The patient had auditory and intellectual disabilities with developmental delay and functioned at a psychological age approximating 6 years. As such, general cooperation was difficult necessitating the use of general anesthesia for dental care. Multiple Surgeries, All Under General Anesthesia via a Variety of Airway

management to an infant diagnosed with severe growth hormone (GH) deficiency who manifested severe hypoglycemia in response to preoperative fasting. The patient was a 10-month-old girl who was scheduled to undergo palatoplasty (1st stage). Immediately after birth, the patient showed apnea attacks and convulsion, as well as patent foramen ovale and hypoplasia of the corpus callosum. Mild hypoplasia of the mid-face was also shown. When cheiloplasty was performed in our hospital at 3 months of age, there were no symptoms of hypoglycemia. Prior to this

and elevated serum enzyme levels. She was successfully treated with dantrolene sodium after diclofenac sodium was found to be ineffective. CASE REPORT An 11-year-old girl weighing 75 kg was scheduled for alveolar cleft bone grafting with an iliac bone. She had undergone general anesthesia twice previously, for a labioplasty and a palatoplasty, without experiencing any adverse events. The first anesthetic was performed with sevoflurane and nitrous oxide in oxygen when the patient was 6 months old, and the second anesthetic was performed with

left side, a fused cervical vertebrae, defects of the left lung and right kidney, vesicoureteral reflux, laryngomalacia and otocleisis. Elective palatoplasty was previously performed in our hospital last April, however, she had trismus, palate fistula and little feeding after the operation. She was scheduled for amputation of the coronoid process and the impression of the maxillopalate in order to obtain better ingestion and nutritional status. We conducted slow induction and confirmed that mask ventilation was possible. Tracheal intubation was performed by using
