Gaucher’s disease is a rare lysosomal storage disease caused due to deficiency of enzyme glucocerebrosidase which presents with bone marrow depression, hypersplenism, hepatosplenomegaly, bony involvement and neurological complication. We report perioperative management of a 19 year female patient with massive splenomegaly and hypersplenism posted for splenectomy. The anaesthesia challenges include major fluid shift leading to changes in haemodynamics, changes in respiratory mechanics.
