Lhermitte Duclos Disease is commonly associated with progressive mass effects of posterior fossa and typically
presents with headaches, cerebellar dysfunction, occlusive hydrocephalus and cranial nerve palsies. The
anaesthetic management of these patients requires clear understanding of the disease. Here we describe
anaesthetic management of an 18 year old female having Lhermitte Duclos Disease posted for VP Shunting under
general anaesthesia.
