Summary Robinow (fetal face) syndrome is a rare inherited multisystem disorder featuring mesomelic or acromesomelic limb shortening, facial and spinal deformities, hypoplastic genitalia, kidney disease and congenital heart defects. We report the anaesthetic management of a patient with Robinow syndrome presenting for elective surgery and review specific issues of interest in the perioperative workup.
