Successful Utilisation Of Epidural Analgesia For Perioperative Pain Management In A Child With Sodium Voltage-Gated Channel Alpha Subunit (Scn1a) Gene Mutation

Sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit (SCN1A) gene mutation is a rare disorder with a large spectrum of clinical presentations. Little is known regarding anaesthetic and analgesic management of these patients. We present a case of a child with SCN1A gene mutation that was successfully managed with an epidural for perioperative analgesia for an abdominal surgery.
