Anesthesia Experienc e of a Pediatric Patient with Arnold Chiari Type I Malformation

Arnold-Chiari malformation (ACM) is a congenital defect and some of the cases are accompanied by syringomyelia. There are four types of the malformation, type 1 being the most common in adults. Diagnosis of the malformation is usually difficult and therefore delayed. In this case report, we present our experience of anesthesia in a 4-year-old patient with ACM Type I with syringomyelia.

Arnold Chiari Tip I Malformasyonlu Pediatrik Hastada Anestezi Deneyimimiz

Tanı genellikle güçtür ve bundan dolayı gecikmiştir. Bu olgu sunumunda Siringomyelinin eşlik ettiği ACM Tip I nedeniyle opere edilen 4 yaşında bir hastada anestezi deneyimimiz sunulmuştur.
