Abstract
Apert syndrome (AS) a type of acrocephalosyndactyly is a rare congenital disorder with the autosomal dominant mode of transmission that consists of craniofacial synostosis, midfacial hypoplasia, and bilateral limb syndactyly. Patients present in early childhood for multiple surgeries which make it imperative to know about various anaesthetic implications like difficult airway ventilation, airway hyperreactivity, associated congenital anomalies, increased airway secretions and deranged temperature thermoregulation associated with this syndrome. The patient should be thoroughly evaluated preoperatively and managed accordingly. We discuss the successful management of a three and a half years old male child with Apert syndrome.
