Difficulties with general and regional anaesthesia in a patient with neurofibromatosis due to involvement of larynx and possibly also of the spinal column with tumour are described. The difficulties with anaesthesia due to neurofibromatosis are reviewed, and it is concluded that, while the majority of cases will present no problems, careful pre-operative assessment is of vital importance.
