A Safe Alternative in Neurofibromatosis for Lower Limb Surgeries: Combined Femoral and Sciatic Nerve Block.

Mohammed Shahid1, Bon Sebastian2.   

Abstract

Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a neurogenetic disease with multiple systemic involvement. In this case report we describe the successful management of a patient with NF posted for lower limb wound debridement with multiple neurofibromas over the back and face causing difficulty in spinal anesthesia and general anaesthesia. Combined femoral and sciatic nerve block was used as a safe alternative anaesthetic approach.
