Abstract

Mucopolysaccharidosis IV, also known as Morquio-Brailsford syndrome, is an inherited autosomal recessive disorder of mucopolysaccharide metabolism leading to accumulation of keratan sulphate in the connective tissue of multiple organ systems. Based on a case report, the anaesthetic implications for the treatment of patients with MPS IV presenting for major orthopaedic surgery are discussed.
