Abstract
Background: Gorham-Stout disease (GSD) is an extremely rare disease of unknown etiology, characterized by painless and progressive bone resorption that may affect multiple bones throughout the body. GSD primarily involves the maxillofacial region, leading to facial disfigurement and reduced joint stability, thereby increasing the risk of challenging tracheal intubation. Limited cases have been reported on the co-occurrence of GSD in the maxillofacial region with lung cancer and right lung atelectasis, particularly regarding anesthesia management for bronchoscopy interventional therapy in such patients.
Case presentation: This report presents a successful case of a patient with maxillary GSD and right lung atelectasis secondary to lung cancer who underwent bronchoscopy interventional therapy under general anesthesia. The perioperative course was uneventful, with no complications observed.
Conclusion: Anesthesia management is critical in the surgical treatment of patients with GSD. Airway management poses unique challenges, necessitating thorough preoperative evaluation and implementation of strategies to address potential intubation difficulties. Additionally, vigilance for intraoperative complications is essential.
期刊介绍:
BMC Anesthesiology is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on all aspects of anesthesiology, critical care, perioperative care and pain management, including clinical and experimental research into anesthetic mechanisms, administration and efficacy, technology and monitoring, and associated economic issues.
