Concomitant Takayasu arteritis and Cushing syndrome in a child undergoing open adrenalectomy: An anaesthetic challenge.

[cushing syndrome]

Takayasu 's arteritis (TA ) is a rare , chronic progressive panendarteritis involving the aorta and its main branches . Anaesthesia for patients with TA is complicated by their severe uncontrolled hypertension , end-organ dysfunction , stenosis of major blood vessels , and difficulties encountered in monitoring arterial blood pressure . In a patient with Cushing 's syndrome (CS ), the anaesthesiologist needs to deal with volume overload , hyperglycaemia , hypokalaemia , difficult airway and ventilation . Anaesthetic management of a patient with concomitant TA and CS undergoing adrenalectomy has hardly ever been reported . We present the successful anaesthetic management of a 15 -year -old child with coexisting TA and CS undergoing open adrenalectomy .
