Henoch schonlein purpura (HSP) is the most common kind of acute small-vessel vasculitis especially affecting children. It is initiated by deposition of immune complexes as responses to infections such as group A streptococci, mycoplasma, Epstein -Barr, and Varicella zoster. HSP is characterized as a systemic vasculitis involving skin, gut, kidneys and joints. Skin rashes, arthritis, abdominal pain and nephritis are the main clinical features. HSP is a medical disease and requires supportive treatment. Treatment is symptomatic. Immunosupression is another treatment modality. It may be benefical on extrarenal lesions but controlled trials are needed to show the efficacy of the immunosupressive treatment. The long term morbidity depends on the renal and neurological involvement. We present a 36- year old man who was a known case of HSP underwent a right ureter stone surgery. He was stable both intraoperative and postoperative periods. We wanted to underline the management of anesthesia in HSP patients.
