West syndrome (WS) is an epileptic encephalopathy usually occurring during the first year of life and is characterized by severe electroencephalography (EEG) derangement. Most of these patients may develop cerebral palsy, facial malformations, and skeletal deformities. The anaesthesiologist should make the preoperative assessment carefully due to epileptic seizures and should consider the possibility of difficult intubation because of coexisting anatomic malformations during the anaesthesia management of patients with WS. This report presents a case of general anaesthesia management in a left femoral fixation operation in an 11-year-old, 18 kg male patient.
韦斯特综合征（WS）是一种通常发生在生命第一年的癫痫性脑病，其特征是严重的脑电图（EEG）紊乱。这些患者中的大多数可能会出现脑瘫、面部畸形和骨骼畸形。由于癫痫发作，麻醉医生应仔细进行术前评估，并且在WS患者的麻醉管理过程中，应考虑到由于并存解剖畸形而导致困难插管的可能性。本报告介绍了一名11岁、体重18公斤男性患者在左股骨固定手术中的全身麻醉管理病例。
