Anesthesia Management of a Patient With Familial Cold Autoinflammatory Syndrome: A Case Report.

Familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome (FCAS) is a rare phenotype of cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS) and is characterized by repetitive systemic inflammation triggered by cold stimulation. Recently, we treated a 13-year-old female with FCAS/CAPS scheduled to undergo removal of an impacted tooth. To minimize perioperative heat loss, a forced-air warming system was utilized to prewarm the patient for 10 minutes before induction of general anesthesia.
