Anesthesia for fucosidosis.

摘要

Fucosidosis is an extremely rare, autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease, characterized by a deficiency of the lysosomal hydrolase alpha fucosidase. We report a case of a 6-year-old child, diagnosed with fucosidosis type 2, who presented for dental rehabilitation under general anesthesia. Anesthesia was uneventful. Features of fucosidosis are discussed.
