Abstract

Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a genetic disorder with skeletal, vascular and soft tissue involvement with different clinical presentations. Since these patients need different surgical procedure in their lifetime, anesthesiologists are involved with their perioperative care and should be familiar with pathogenesis and anesthetic considerations of OI. Here we represent a case of OI which was candidate for Video Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS) and review the literature.
