Leigh's syndrome, a progressive neurodegenerative disorder of infancy and childhood, is clinically characterized mainly by developmental delay, nervous system dysfunction and respiratory abnormalities such as aspiration, wheezing, breathing difficulties, gasping, hypoventilation and apnoea. Acute exacerbation and respiratory failure may follow surgery, general anaesthesia or intercurrent illnesses. Hyperlecithinemia is variably present. Histopathological findings include necrosis, vascular proliferation, astrocytosis and demyelination of several brain areas. We present a 30-month-old patient with Leigh's syndrome anaesthetized for extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy, and describe the anaesthetic considerations.
