A 3-year-old pediatric patient with previously diagnosed Pelizaeus-Merzbacher syndrome presented for outpatient dental restoration. Given the infrequency of this demyelinating disorder, an anesthetic plan was tailored to address the patient's hypotonia and aspiration risk, as well as minimize potential complications including seizures, hemodynamic instability, and postoperative respiratory support. Multimodal analgesia, along with an appropriate ventilation strategy and normothermia, allowed the patient to successfully undergo a general anesthetic and be safely discharged home the same day.
