Anesthetic Management of a Patient With Distal Acquired Demyelinating Symmetric (DADS) Neuropathy Under General Anesthesia.

Distal acquired demyelinating symmetric (DADS) neuropathy is a form of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculopathy (CIDP) which can present many risks to patients undergoing anesthesia. There are currently no specific guidelines for the management of patients with any form of CIDP. This case report describes a 65-year-old male with DADS neuropathy who underwent elective total hip arthroplasty.
