Larsen Syndrome (SL) is a rare hereditary disease characterized by a defect in the formation of collagen due to mutations in the genes encoding the cytoskeletal protein filamin B. Its prevalence in Europe is approximately 1 to 250,000 live births. This implies a number of anatomical features of the airway that we must assess in children who are going under anesthesia. We present the case of an 11-year-old boy diagnosed with Larsen syndrome who underwent left ear aticotomy. In this regard, we conducted a literature review on the peculiarities of anesthetic management of these patients.
