Abstract
We describe the case ofa 2.5 kg weighing infant with Larsen syndrome that we used sugammadex for reversal
of deep neuromuscular blockade. Sugammadex was superior to classical reversal agent neostigmine because of the effect
on deep neuromuscular blockade and less side effects. Our patient had cervical instability, small for age and also
entubation difficulty with facial anomaly. We discussed the use of sugammadex in Larsen syndrome infant. We wanted
to have a safer extubation period and administered sugammadex for reversal of deep neuromuscular blockade. This case
has an importance about the first time use of sugammadex such a small infant with Larsen syndrome.
