GAG accumulation causes difficult airway due to changes in the upper airway. In this report we present spinal anesthesia that was administered to a patient with Hunter syndrome to avoid complications related to anticipated difficult airway.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSuccessful use of spinal anesthesia for incarcerated inguinal hernia repair in a patient with Hunter syndromeArticle8375475510.5455/medscience.2018.07.8988364145
