Abstract
Berardinelli’s Syndrome or Laurence Seip Syndrome is a rare inherited disorder presenting in early childhood. Glucose and fat metabolism are mainly deranged with clinical presentation of generalized lipo-atrophy, hypertriglyceridemia and insulin resistance in early childhood. There is no curative treatment, anticipation and symptomatic treatment of complications is the reported management. Precise metabolic control was challenging during anesthesia for a seven year old child with multisystem involvement like an aged patient.
Keywords: Berardinelli’s Syndrome, Laurence Seip Syndrome, inherited metabolic disorder.
