Abstract
Anesthetic management of patients with mucopolysaccharidoses is well known. The anesthetic implications of patients with galactosialidosis may be similar to those with other well documented mucopolysaccharidoses, but no cases have been reported in the anesthesia-related literature. We present a case describing anesthetic management of a patient with galactosialidosis undergoing cervical spine surgery.
