ABSTRACT


Introduction: Poland syndrome (PS) is a rare disease characterized by hypoplasia/agenesis of the pectoralis major muscle, associated ipsilateral upper limb abnormalities and/or thoracic abnormalities. Few cases of patients with PS have been reported in the literature, and a detailed description of the anesthetic management of these patients is scarce. Poland syndrome imposes specific anesthetic conducts to avoid complications related to the degree of thoracic wall deformity and the possibility of malignant hyperthermia (MH) due to the use of succinylcholine and some inhaled anesthetics.

Case Report: We report the anesthetic management of a patient diagnosed with PS submitted to video-laparoscopic hernioplasty by total intravenous anesthesia with invasive ventilation. The patient presented absence of the left pectoral muscles, besides ipsilateral syndactyly. We performed monitorization with non-invasive blood pressure, pulse oximetry, esophageal thermometer, capnography, and electrocardiogram. The anesthetic technique was total intravenous anesthesia. Induction with propofol, fentanyl, cisatracurium, followed by maintenance with propofol target-controlled infusion guided by bispectral index (BIS). At the end of the procedure, tenoxicam, dipyrone, dexamethasone, and ondansetron were administered, besides atropine and neostigmine for reversal of neuromuscular blockade.

Conclusion: The PS imposes specific anesthetic management and adequate monitorization to avoid complications related to the chest deformity. The anesthetic technique was total intravenous anesthesia to reduce the doses used and also it was performed in a context to avoid MH.
