Trisomy 13 syndrome (Patau Syndrome) was originally found cytogenetically in 1960 while its clinical phenotype was described later. It is a congenital genetic disorder caused by an extra copy of 13 Chromosome. Cardinal findings of Trisomy 13 syndrome are motor and mental retardation, microcephaly, microphthalmia, holoproencephaly, hypotelorism, cleft palate and lip, cardiaovascular, genitourinary and ocular malformations. In Patau syndrome, difficulty of intubation due to craniofacial deformities and cardiac anomalies occurring in 80% of the cases make anesthesia management more challenging. We aimed to present anesthesia management in a patient who was diagnosed with Patau syndrome and was planned to undergo operation for inguinal hernia.
