AbstractPompe disease is a very rare disorder of glycogen metabolism. Due to a deficiency of the enzyme glucosidase glycogen accumulates inside the lysosomes. The clinical picture varies widely as a consequence of varying participation of skeletal and heart muscle. In adults respiratory insufficiency can occur which must be taken into consideration during anesthesiology procedures for affected patients. This case report describes a 60-year-old patient scheduled for punch biopsy of the prostate.
