There are only seven reported cases of Plott's syndrome and no anaesthetic descriptions of this rare syndrome which is characterized by vocal cord paralysis, psychomotor retardation and sixth nerve palsy. The major anaesthetic implication is postoperative upper airway control. We describe the anaesthetic management of a(r)15‐year‐old boy who presented for magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] of his brain.
