lüll Unanticipated Compression of the Trachea in a 5-Month-Old Undergoing an MRI for Evaluation of Neurofibromatosis Williams UU; Zavala AM; Van Meter A; Rebello E; Tan J; Owusu-Agyemang PA A Case Rep 2017[Jan]; 8 (1): 1-3Neurofibromatosis type 1 is an autosomal-dominant disorder with the tendency toward the formation of tumors. Plexiform neurofibromas are the most common type of tumors seen in neurofibromatosis type 1. Approximately 50% occur in the head and neck region with a 5% incidence of airway involvement. We describe the case of a 5 month old with a plexiform neurofibroma of the neck who developed complete airway obstruction on induction of anesthesia. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a skull base neurofibroma extending to the hypopharynx and resulting in deviation of the airway. Because of the possibility of airway involvement, a careful preanesthetic evaluation as well as a slow induction with the maintenance of spontaneous ventilation should be considered in patients presenting with facial neurofibromas.|Airway Obstruction/*etiology[MESH]|Anesthesia, General/*adverse effects/methods[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Infant[MESH]|Intubation, Intratracheal[MESH]|Magnetic Resonance Imaging/*methods[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Neurofibroma, Plexiform/*diagnosis/genetics[MESH]|Neurofibromatosis 1/complications/genetics[MESH]|Skull Base Neoplasms/*diagnosis/genetics[MESH]|Trachea/*physiopathology[MESH] |
