Abstract
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) poses unique challenges to anesthesiologists owing to difficult airway and cardiorespiratory compromise. 1-3 We describe the anesthetic management of a case of AS with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) for lumbar puncture (LP) followed by ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) surgery.
