Scoliosis is characterized by the lateral curvature of the spine in the coronal or frontal plane greater than 10°, as measured by the Cobb angle, that is often accompanied by variable rotation of the vertebrae. 1 , 2 Underlying causes of scoliosis can be classified as congenital, neuromuscular, or idiopathic, which is the most common. The clinical relevance and severity of this condition are related to several factors, including the degree of spinal curvature, with Cobb angles exceeding 40° being considered severe. Furthermore, patients

, abnormal respiratory control, autonomic dysfunction, various sensitivities to both sedative drugs and volatile anesthetics, airway difficulty, and gastroesophageal reflux. We herein report a case in which intubated general anesthesia was performed 3 times for a patient with RTT who had several risk factors for developing postoperative respiratory complications. These factors primarily included a history of being bedridden, severe scoliosis, and an inability to perform postural changes or sputum expectoration by herself. CASE REPORT The

and patient assent, we report a case of undiagnosed cardiomyopathy in a trisomy 9 mosaic patient that was elucidated during a general anesthetic. CASE PRESENTATION A 27-year-old mosaic trisomy 9 female presented for a 2.5-hour dental rehabilitation with extractions under general anesthesia. Physically, she exhibited a bulbous nose, low-set ears, and microcephaly. Her past medical history was significant for premature birth (as a twin born at 34 weeks' gestation), developmental delay, scoliosis, and GER. On the morning of surgery, she

hypertonia triggered by excessive straining while defecating that resulted in respiratory failure and cardiac arrest. She was successfully resuscitated by mask ventilation and chest compressions. Thereafter, botulinum therapy was started once every 4 months, after which the patient was free of further acute muscle hypertonic attacks. Routine preoperative blood tests and a resting 12-lead electrocardiogram revealed no abnormalities. Preoperative chest radiographs showed no abnormalities except for mild scoliosis. During the preoperative physical examination, her

informed that he had been diagnosed with NS in a general hospital near their residence when he was 1 year old. He underwent medical care for pulmonary valve stenosis, scoliosis, bone fragility, epilepsy, and intellectual impairment at the general hospital along with the prescribed follow-up. In March 2011, an oral surgeon at the hospital extracted his third molars under general anesthesia. Although he had received dental treatment in a dental office near his residence in his early childhood under physical restraint, he began to refuse dental treatment as he got older
