摘要

Background

Gorham-Stout disease (GSD) is an extremely rare disease of unknown etiology, characterized by painless and progressive bone resorption that may affect multiple bones throughout the body. GSD primarily involves the maxillofacial region, leading to facial disfigurement and reduced joint stability, thereby increasing the risk of challenging tracheal intubation. Limited cases have been reported on the co-occurrence of GSD in the maxillofacial region with lung cancer and right lung atelectasis, particularly regarding anesthesia management for bronchoscopy interventional therapy in such patients.

Case presentation

This report presents a successful case of a patient with maxillary GSD and right lung atelectasis secondary to lung cancer who underwent bronchoscopy interventional therapy under general anesthesia. The perioperative course was uneventful, with no complications observed.

Conclusion

Anesthesia management is critical in the surgical treatment of patients with GSD. Airway management poses unique challenges, necessitating thorough preoperative evaluation and implementation of strategies to address potential intubation difficulties. Additionally, vigilance for intraoperative complications is essential.
