We present case reports of five patients with severe forms of mucopolysaccharidoses who developed postobstructive pulmonary oedema during anaesthesia. The difficulties of anaesthesia in these patients and the particular predisposition that these patients exhibit for the development of postobstructive pulmonary oedema is discussed.
