Paediatric Neurology – A floppy infant is very important problem and one of the common presentation at our local clinic. There are a lot of differential diagnoses need to be consider. Specifically, one of the important neuromuscular disorder with classical presentation is Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA).

SMA is a severe neuromuscular disorder characterized by degeneration of alpha motor neurons in the spinal cord resulting in progressive muscle wasting, weakness and paralysis, often leading to early death. It is due to a defect in the survival motor neuron (SMN) gene located on chromosome 5. It occurs in approximately 1 in 10,000 live births. Classically it presents with type 0 – type 4 classification. The wide spectrum of clinical phenotypes of SMA nowadays make it more challenging to diagnose. The good example is spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress type 1 (SMARD). Numerous recent studies also challenge the notion that SMA is solely a disease of lower motor neurons, indicating that SMA may actually be a multi-system disorder. SMA patients require multidisciplinary care in close collaboration with parents and caretakers.

Here we present case scenario, our current understanding of the disease, ethical issues and the impact of the new treatment for SMA. New disease modifying treatment have changed the disease trajectories and most impressive results are seen if treatment is inisiated in the presymptomatic phase of the disease. During the last decade, drug development for SMA has made dramatic progress and changed the disease outcome for many patients. Nusinersen (Spinraza) was the first drug that received approval for thetreatment of SMA, that is administered intrathecally. Another splicing modifier is Risdiplam, a small molecule that is administered orally.  An alternative treatment strategy is gene replacement therapy. Very recently, the European Medicine Agency approved Onasemnogene abeparvovec (Zolgensma) for the treatment of patients with SMA, with up to 3 copies of SMN2 gene or the clinical presentation of SMA type 1. With a price around 2 million USD for a single dose, Zolgensma has also attracted a great deal attention as the most expensive drug in the market. It is our role as responsible team to collaborate and to highlight the higher authority as to give chance for patients and their family to have better option if possible.

Synopsis:

Mediastinal mass syndrome remains an anaesthetic challenge that cannot be underestimated. Depending on the localization and the size of the mediastinal tumour, the clinical presentation is variable ranging from a complete lack of symptoms to severe cardiorespiratory problems. The administration of general anaesthesia can be associated with acute intraoperative or postoperative cardiorespiratory decompensation that may result in death due to tumour-related compression syndromes. The role of the anaesthesiologist, as a part of the interdisciplinary treatment team, is to ensure a safe perioperative period. However, there is still no structured protocol available for perioperative anaesthesiological procedure.
