Shprintzen-Goldberg syndrome (SGS) is a rare condition characterized by craniofacial, cardiac, and neurologic alterations that can challenge an anesthesiologist. There are a few case reports of pediatric patients with SGS receiving general anesthesia but none about other techniques. A patient with SGS and insufficient dura mater was once reported, and this has caused some anesthesiologists to be wary of regional anesthesia. However, the link between SGS and insufficient dura mater remains unclear. We report the case of a 19-year-old patient with SGS who safely underwent an open cholecystectomy with regional anesthesia.

General anesthesia is the gold standard for breast cancer surgeries. Considering the nature of the surgery and its associated pain, various regional techniques are used as an adjunct to general anesthesia. Regional anesthesia as a sole anesthetic technique for breast cancer surgery is an upcoming technique - especially in high-risk patients considering the risk-benefit ratio, various regional blocks like pectoralis major block, pectoralis minor block, and erector spinae block - in which thoracic segmental spinal anesthesia is the recent one.

Peribulbar anesthesia is mainly used for cataract surgery. Many studies had used atracurium and rocuronium as an additive to the local anesthetic (LA) drugs in eye surgery. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of adding atracurium versus rocuronium to a local anesthetic mixture, in providing an early onset of orbital akinesia and corneal anesthesia during cataract surgery.
