[Emergency medicine and anesthesiology aspects of neurofibromatosis in childhood].
In infancy mediastinal and major airway associated tumours can cause respiratory emergency situations requiring resuscitation and special anaesthetic management. The case report of an infant with a cervicothoracal neurofibroma and resulting acute respiratory distress underlines these problems. In anaesthetic and surgical procedures these patients can experience respiratory difficulties with severe consequences. Preoperative possibilities to evaluate and reduce these risks are presented and discussed.
