We experienced anesthetic management of three cases of osteogenesis imperfecta. Case 1: A 2-year-old boy weighing 8.6 kg was premedicated with chloral hydrate 250 mg intrarectally, but he was very excited on arrival at the operating room. Induction of anesthesia was performed by intramuscular injection of ketamine 40 mg. Case 2: A 4-year-old girl underwent three surgeries (2 osteomies and 1 intramedullary nailing of the tibias) during the past two years. On the second and third procedures, marked hyperthermia (over 39.2 degrees C as rectal temperature) developed during halothane (1-2%) and enflurane (1.5-2.5%) anesthesia. However, on the first surgery, hyperthermia did not occur under combined light halothane (0.3-0.5%) anesthesia with caudal epidural block. Case 3: A 14-year-old female underwent osteotomy of the radius under brachial plexus block without any anesthetic complications. In conclusion, anesthetic considerations for children with this disease are as follows; 1) It is necessary to premedicate to provide good preoperative sedation. 2) Care should be taken to use inhaled anesthetic agents (halothane and enflurane) because of tendency to develop abnormal hyperthermia. 3) It is desirable to use regional anesthesia.
