Perioperative Management of a Patient With von Recklinghausen's Disease With Anticipated Difficult Airway Management: A Case Report

Abstract

Von Recklinghausen's disease is characterized by skin pigmentation, multiple neurofibromatosis, and osseous changes. In the anesthetic management of patients with von Willebrand's disease, it is important to provide appropriate airway management, taking into account the cutaneous laxity caused by neurofibromatosis of Recklinghausen's disease. This case describes the perioperative management of a patient with Recklinghausen's disease with suspected difficulty in airway management.
