title: Anaesthetic implications of Cornelia de Lange syndrome.
abstract: Cornelia de Lange syndrome is a congenital disease characterized basically by psychomotor retardation associated with a series of malformations (mainly skeletal craniofacial deformities together with gastrointestinal and cardiac malformations). We present the case of a patient who underwent trauma surgery, discuss the anaesthetic problems involved and their relationship to the malformations that constitute this syndrome.
