Abstract

Chronic infantile neurological cutaneous articular (CINCA) syndrome periodically causes fever along with inflammation in multiple organs. Patients with this condition are vulnerable to dental problems due to systemic inflammation. For uncooperative patients, general anesthesia has been widely used to control negative behavior. However, caution should be exercised when administering general anesthesia in these patients because this syndrome is pro-inflammatory. The present case report describes the clinical considerations of the dental treatment of an uncooperative child with CINCA syndrome who was treated under general anesthesia.
