AbstractCases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis with pregnancy are quite rare. The aim of this case report is to present the successful use of total intravenous anesthesia without muscle relaxant for cesarean section in a parturient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis at 35 weeks' gestation. The parturient presented with impaired neuromuscular function. Titrated general anesthesia with short-acting anesthetics was applied. During the procedure, no muscle relaxant was used. This strategy helped avoid prolonged ventilation and prevent maternal respiratory complications.Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
