Abstract :
While patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or multiple sclerosis (MS) are at high risk of developing
postoperative complications, both of them have special anesthetic considerations in intraoperative and postoperative
periods. A careful preoperative evaluation, use of the optimal anesthetic regimen and close postoperative care is
essential for these patients. Rarity of coexistence of both obstructive sleep apnea and multiple sclerosis in a surgical
patient necessitates careful anesthetic management. We here report anesthetic management of a female patient with
OSA and MS who underwent anesthesia three times for surgery and review the literature.
