Abstract
Scheie's syndrome is a rare hereditary disorder of proteoglycan-degrading enzymes. Deposition of mucopolysaccharide can cause valvular and other tissue abnormalities. Few studies have reported surgical results for Scheie's syndrome, and the perioperative course is complicated. This is a report of a 35-year-old woman with Scheie's syndrome who underwent double-valve replacement with intensive perioperative management.
