We studied the neuromuscular effects of both atracurium and mivacurium in a patient with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMTD) during nitrous oxide-oxygen-alfentanil-propofol anaesthesia. Neuromuscular blockade was monitored electromyographically. Train-of-four stimulation (2 Hz @ 20 sec intervals) was delivered to the ulnar nerve throughout the period of observation. ⋯ There was no evidence of prolonged response to atracurium and mivacurium in our patient with CMTD.
