Neurofibromatosis is an autosomal dominant hereditary disease that is usually present for diverse surgical procedures, their management poses a challenge both to the surgeon and the anaesthetist because of its multisystemic affectation. Neurofibromatosis is associated with a variety of conditions often requiring anaesthesia for surgical treatment, including painful neurofibromas, severe kyphoscoliosis, pseudarthroses, hydrocephalus, intra-cranial tumors and other malignancies. The type and severity of systemic dysfunction must be considered while planning anaesthesia for a patient with neurofibromatosis.1 This paper is a case report on the anaesthetic management of a patient with neurofibromatosis that had staged orbital tumor excision and parotidectomy.
