Abstract

Giant axonal neuropathy is a generalised disorder of cytoplasmic intermediate filaments which particularly involves the peripheral and central nervous systems. In this paper we describe a child with giant axonal neuropathy and discuss the anaesthetic management in the light of the pathology and physiology of the condition.
