Anesthetic considerations during surgical intervention in Woake's syndrome: A case report.

We report on caveats, such as pulmonary dysfunction during the anesthetic management, and nasal structural problems encountered in WS patients. Given that conventional inhaled anesthesia reduces ciliary movement and that local anesthesia with sedative has several disadvantages, perioperative control and precautions against respiratory infections by using antibiotics, and preventing cilio-depressant actions, are important for anesthetic management.
