Anesthetic Management of An Obstetric Patient With Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy: Case Report and Review of The Literature

Abstract

Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy is a rare hereditary disease with dangerous systemic components including difficult airway, muscle weakness, increased risk for pulmonary aspiration, cardiomyopathy, and rhabdomyolysis that make anesthetic management challenging. In this case report, we aimed to discuss the anesthetic management of a 36-year-old pregnant woman with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy LGMD who underwent emergent caesarean section with spinal anesthesia and to review of the anesthetic management of obstetric Limb-Girdle patients in the literature
