AbstractA 50-year-old woman was scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia. She was suffering from Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease for 21 years, and implanted with a permanent pacemaker for IIIrd degree AV block. Anesthesia was induced with fentanyl and propofol, and maintained with oxygen-air-sevoflurane. Neuromuscular blockade was not used because of the presence of peripheral neuropathy and respiratory muscle weakness. We suggest that sevoflurane anesthesia might be useful for anesthetic management of CMT patient with a risk of postoperative respiratory failure.
