Anesthetic Management of a Patient with Epidermolysis Bullosa for Esophageal Dilatation: A Case Report

Abstract

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a mucocutaneous disorder characterized by fragility of skin and mucosal membranes to the mechanical stress resulting formation of blisters, erosions and scarring. Their vulnerability needs certain attention and anesthetic management plan to perform anesthesia requiring procedures and surgeries without complications. In our case, a patient with EB had undergone an esophageal dilatation procedure. We present an anesthetic management strategy for these patients.
