A 19-year-old male scheduled for dental rehabilitation was diagnosed with Leigh’s syndrome in infancy. At 3-months-of-age, the patient presented with staring/lethargic spells and loss of developmental milestones. Following a muscle biopsy, he was diagnosed with Leigh’s syndrome after 2 months. His past surgical history included a gastrostomy and Nissen fundoplication and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in infancy. Family history was positive for a first cousin with unknown hypotonia and symptoms suggestive of malignant hyperthermia (masseter spasm) on exposure to anesthesia. Physical examination of the patient revealed a Mallampati class II airway; he was nonverbal and wheelchair-confined with secondary spasticity. He also had severe neuromuscular scoliosis with a pectus carinatum deformity noted. He weighed 36.8 kilograms. His medical history included known allergies to amoxicillin clavulanate, latex, and tape. His medication included levetiracetam, clonazepam, and tamsulosin. Vital signs were within normal limits and his respiratory examinations were unremarkable. Hematological workup and hermia, tricuspid insufficiency electrolytes were within normal limits. His last echocardiogram was 9 years previously showing mild tricuspid insufficiency. An echocardiogram on the day of surgery reported cardiac dextroposition due to severe pectus carinatum deformity, and normal left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) functions with a right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) of 24.1 mmHg. The anesthetic plan included performing the procedure under general anesthesia using total intravenous anesthesia. The patient was held nil per os (NPO) for 6 hours. Midazolam (5 mg) was administered subcutaneously in the preoperative holding area. General anesthesia was induced with 70% N2O in O2 following a 22-gauge peripheral intravenous line (PIV) placed in the left hand. A 1 μg/kg bolus of dexmedetomidine over 10 minutes was started. Fentanyl (1.5 μg/kg) was given to attenuate the hemodynamic response to intubation and a 6.5 mm endotracheal tube was placed and secured in position. On direct laryngoscopy, the airway was a Cormack and Lehane grade 3 view. Anesthesia was maintained with 1 L oxygen/2 L nitrous oxide and continuous infusions of dexmedetomidine (0.4 - 1.4 μg/kg/hour) and remifentanil (0.8 - 1.2 μg/kg). Infusions were titrated to hemodynamic response of surgery. Intraoperative end-tidal carbon dioxide concentration in the expired air (ETCO2) was maintained between 35 and 40 mmHg. An underbody blanket was used to maintain normothermia. The procedure lasted 1.15 hours and the total fluid administration included 600 mL of normal saline. Infusions stopped 10 minutes before the end of surgery. Following the procedure, the patient was extubated and transferred to the post-anesthesia care unit with close observation. The postoperative course was uncomplicated, and postoperatively no additional opioids were given. He returned to his baseline mental status, maintaining normal oxygen saturation on room air. The patient was discharged home with advice to take ibuprofen 400mg every 4 hours as needed.
