Abstract
The airway and respiratory system abnormalities seen in Marfan syndrome pose a significant challenge to the anaesthetist. Here, we discuss the chain of events that occurred during the induction of a primi mother, with Marfanoid features complicated with low platelet count and anaemia due to bone marrow hypoplasia. We then discuss the concerns of Marfan Syndrome and its features concerning anaesthetic management.
