[Crouzon syndrome coupled with OSAHS and congenital heart disease: a case report].

A case of Crouzon syndrome coupled with OSAHS and congenital heart disease in our hospital was reported. The patient who was a 2 years and 7 months old boy, was admitted in our hospital for repetitive sore throat, snoring with mouth breathing during sleep for more than 2 years and been found with some typical defect of Crouzon syndrome during physical examination. Half a year ago the boy underwent ventricular septal defect closure surgery. PSG shows severe apnea hypopnea and low ventilation existed. Under general anesthesia, the patient accepted bilateral tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy but dyspnea occurred after post-operative extubation till 2 days later the boy can breathe by himself. The follow-up at 6 months and 1 year revealed that the patient did not have snoring or mouth breathing during sleep. For this kind of case, we should assess detailed pre-operation and observe carefully post-operation so as to reduce the perioperative period risks.
