Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a rare genetic disorder characterised by massive myocardial hypertrophy leading to left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Clinical presentation ranges from absence of symptoms to sudden death. A 17 yr old male patient, known case of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was posted for excision of pseudopancreatic cyst. Anaesthetic management of these patients poses considerable challenges. Factors like tachycardia, hypovolemia, vasodilatation and increased cardiac contractility lead to exacerbation of the obstruction.
