Abstract PDF: Management of airway in a child with Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS) should be given due consideration because most of them have the problems related to difficult airway. The GlideScope video laryngoscope can be attempted during routine intubation, however it is mostly used in case of difficulty. With adequate preoperative airway assessment, we used the pediatric video laryngoscope as useful alternative airway device in a child with CdLS and orotracheal intubation proceeded uneventfully.

Case report

Surgical treatment of esotropia and unilateral ptosis in a patient with Cornelia de Lange syndrome: Won Jae Kim; Yeungnam Univ J Med. 2019;36(2):152-154. Published online December 17, 2018; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12701/yujm.2019.00066

Abstract PDF: Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a rare multisystemic disorder that is characterized by mental retardation, prenatal and postnatal growth retardation, limb anomalies, and distinctive facial features, which include arched eyebrows that often meet in the middle (synophrys), long eyelashes, low-set ears, small and widely spaced teeth, and a small and upturned nose. Ophthalmic manifestations include long eyelashes, nasolacrimal duct obstruction, myopia, ptosis, and strabismus. There has been no report of surgical treatment for esotropia and unilateral ptosis in patients with CdLS in Korea. We report a patient with CdLS who underwent surgical treatment for esotropia and unilateral ptosis with a good surgical outcome.
