{Abstract}: <B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Cutaneous scaling and associated clinical syndrome displayed in X-linked ichthyosis mandates multidisciplinary care. Patient with ichthyosis confronts a numerous challenge to an anesthesiologist and demands a rigorous management. As these patients are very vulnerable perioperatively, meticulous care and support are utmost.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Ichthyosis is a group of genetic conditions distinguished by the appearance of hyperkeratotic scales on the skin's surface. X-linked ichthyosis results from a mutation in the steroid sulfatase (STS) gene, which encodes the steroid sulfatase enzyme. Here we report a case of a 6-year-old child with X-linked ichthyosis. He presented to our operation theater for correction of left-sided undescended testis and underwent surgery uneventfully. To handle X-linked ichthyosis perioperatively, meticulous planning and efficient anesthetic administration are critical.
