Apert syndrome is an autosomal dominant inherited condition characterised by craniosynostosis, syndactyly, mid face hypoplasia, organ malformations, and mental retardation. As it is rarely encountered, so there is little knowledge of the anaesthesia practice in the literature for this syndrome, we present our experience of two cases undergoing bilateral syndactyly release under general anaesthesia.
Key words: Apert Syndrome, acrocephalosyndactyly, difficult airway
