Management of a Pediatric Patient With Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis Using General Anesthesia
Abstract
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is an uncommon condition that often calls for input from several specialists, especially when the mouth is involved or when treatment affects the child's immune system. This report outlines the care of a five-year-old female with multisystem disease who developed fever and eye irritation during chemotherapy. Once her blood counts recovered, she received full dental rehabilitation under general anesthesia because of extensive decay and limited cooperation. Close coordination among oncology, dental, pediatric, and eye-care teams supported her recovery and highlighted the value of timely intervention and organized long-term follow-up.
