Core Tip

Core Tip: We report on a rare case of anesthetic management of a patient with congenital cataract, facial dysmorphism, and neuropathy (CCFDN) syndrome for posterior neuromuscular scoliosis correction. Additionally, this case report is unique as it for the first time presents successful endotracheal intubation in a patient with CCFDN syndrome associated with facial dysmorphism.
