title: Day care general anaesthesia for a child with bardet-biedl syndrome.
abstract: Bardet-Biedl syndrome is a very rare autosomal-recessive disorder with pan-systemic effects. The perioperative period may be hazardous for patients with this disorder. We describe the presenting features and management of a child who was scheduled for elective ambulatory general anesthesia and discuss the relevant points for the busy anesthesiologist.
