A one‐year‐and‐ten‐months‐old male infant with Arima syndrome, a very rare genetic disorder, underwent urgent insertion of a catheter for continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) under general anaesthesia. During the procedure he showed QRS‐interval changes caused by hyperkalaemia which was successfully treated with calcium gluconate. The management and intraoperative complications of this syndrome are reported and available literature reviewed.
