Abstract
Edward's syndrome (trisomy 18) is the second most common chromosomal anomaly next to Down syndrome. The patients are dysmorphic, have multiple organ malformation which is made to die with 90% by 12 months. Information in the literature about anesthetic management in trisomy 18 is rare. We report the case of a 7 months old male with trisomy 18 who underwent inguinal hernioplaty and orchiopexy with general anesthesia.
