Summary We describe the anesthetic management of a 5‐year‐old girl diagnosed with Seckel syndrome, for cleft lip surgery. The syndrome is characterized by severe intrauterine and postnatal growth retardation with proportional dwarfism, typical beak‐like triangular nose, and mental retardation, accounting for its various synonyms such as bird‐headed dwarfism, microcephalic primordial dwarfism, nanocephalic dwarfism and Seckel‐type dwarfism.
