ABSTRACT
Cystic hygroma is a benign tumor without potential malignancy. They are also called cavernous heamangioma and are histologically benign congenital tumour of lymphatic origin. For anaesthesia of these patients, an anaesthesiologist should be prepared for various circumstances that may arise with respect to management of the respiratory tract. Even an anatomically normal respiratory tract is susceptible to upper airway obstruction and respiratory distress and hypoxia can easily take place. We report successful anaesthetic management of 6 month old child with cystic hygroma.
