Laparoscopic splenectomy in a child with moyamoya syndrome, hereditary spherocytosis, and interstitial lung disease: a mere coincidence or partnership based on genetic similarities

Abstract

A case of moyamoya syndrome and spherocytosis with concurrent interstitial lung disease who underwent laparoscopic splenectomy is being reported. A theory regarding their coexistence is being forwarded together with their anesthetic management. According to our search, this is the fourth case of moyamoya syndrome and the first case with an associated interstitial lung disease in a 10-year-old child.
