Abstract
Apert syndrome is a premature fusion of certain skull bones. This early fusion prevents the skull growing normally and affects the shape of the head and face. In addition a varied number of fingers and toes are adhered together. Considering the probability of difficult airway is very important in these patients. Our patient was referred to operating room for syndactyly separation in his lower extremities fingers.
