A Neonate With Pallister-Hall Syndrome and Arrhythmia
نویسندگان
چکیده
We anesthetized a full-term male infant with a history of supraventricular tachydysrhythmias on three occasions: days-of-life 6, 30, and 131. The patient initially carried a diagnosis of VACTERL syndrome but because of intraoperative findings and subsequent genetic study, was diagnosed with Pallister-Hall syndrome. Cardiac arrhythmias have not previously been reported with this syndrome. We further review known aspects of Pallister-Hall syndrome that may complicate anesthetic management and may alert clinicians to subclinical cases.

A 4-month-old boy with polydactyly and bifid epiglottis was found to have a large sellar and suprasellar mass. When the diagnosis of Pallister-Hall syndrome was made, conservative management was elected. When the patient was 2 years old, the tumor had grown proportionally with the patient, and he was developing appropriately. Although rare, this entity is important to recognize not only for cli...
