RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Rett Syndrome (RTT) is a rare, severe, and progressive developmental disorder with intellectual disability. Anesthesia in RTT patients presents a range of challenges. We report a child with RTT who received dental treatment under muscle relaxant-free general anesthesia in our ambulatory center. CASE PRESENTATION: A 15-year-old girl with RTT was admitted to our dental clinic with multiple dental caries and residual roots. Dental treatment was scheduled under ambulatory general anesthesia. After anesthesia induction, a nasal tube was initiated under the guidance of a fiberoptic bronchoscope. Multimodal analgesia, body temperature monitoring, and postoperative nausea and vomiting prevention were applied. No muscle relaxants were used throughout the process. The endotracheal tube was successfully removed after the operation and the patient was discharged home the same day. CONCLUSION: An individualized anesthesia strategy enabled a quick and safe recovery for this RTT patient after dental treatment under muscle relaxant-free general anesthesia.

Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic Tumor (CEOT), also known as Pindborg tumor, is a rare odontogenic benign tumor. It was first reported by Thoma and Goldman in 1946 and defined as an independent tumor by Pindborg in 1957. Herein, we reported a CEOT case involving most of the mandible after I-125 implantation in a 53-year-old man. We cooperated with governmental and hospital departments to resect the tumors, reconstruct the mandible with a fibular flap graft, and properly dispose of the radioactive particles.
