    <abstract locale="en_US">Achondroplasia is a congenital autosomal dominant disease which has fibroblast growth factor receptor -3 mutation (FGFR-3). Anesthetic management of achondroplastic patients warrants special anatomical and physiological considerations because of important variations in the airway as well as the spine in regional techniques. In our case, 37-years-old male dwarf with achondroplasia has end stage renal disease (ESRD) and received cadaveric renal transplantation (RT). Preoperative assessment revealed the Mallampati score IV airway with a cervical instability, thoracolumbar kyphoscoliosis and spinal deformities. We aim to highlight anesthetic management of achondroplastic dwarf with difficult airway during operation.</abstract>
