Abstract
Perthes syndrome, or traumatic asphyxia syndrome, is a rare clinical entity, associating cyanosis, cervicofacial petechiae and subconjunctival hemorrhage. It is usually secondary to chest trauma, but can occur in any situation of abrupt rise in intrathoracic pressure with closed glottis. In this paper, we present a case of Perthes syndrome that triggered an asthma attack for a child during surgery.
