A patient with Turner's syndrome anaesthetized on several occasions for laparoscopy, vaginoplasty and change of dressings is presented. Intubation was difficult due to webbing of the neck and a shortened tracheal length. Other problems in patients with this syndrome include difficulty in venipuncture, delayed excretion of drugs, associated cardiovascular anomalies and contraindication to regional blockade, in view of spinal deformities.

Key Words: GENETIC FACTORS: Turner's syndrome • COMPLICATIONS: Turner's syndrome, intubation
