Abstract
Goldenhar syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by a wide range of congenital malformations that may cause difficulty in tracheal intubation and mask ventilation. We describe a case of a male infant with Goldenhar syndrome successfully treated with general anesthesia with laryngeal airway mask and peripheral nerve block for club foot disease surgery.
