AI Article Synopsis
- Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a rare muscular dystrophy that increases the risk of serious complications during surgery, such as hyperkalemia and rhabdomyolysis.
- This case report focuses on the anesthetic management of a child with FSHD who underwent an exploratory tympanotomy, highlighting the challenges involved due to the condition.
- Notably, this is the first documented instance of pediatric general anesthesia for a patient with FSHD that also involved the use of sugammadex for reversing neuromuscular blockade.
Article Abstract
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) belongs to the group of rare diseases known as muscular dystrophies. Patients with muscular dystrophies face a heightened risk of intraoperative complications, including severe hyperkalemia and acute rhabdomyolysis. This case report outlines the anesthetic approach employed for a pediatric patient diagnosed with FSHD undergoing a planned exploratory tympanotomy. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first documented case in the literature detailing pediatric general anesthesia in a patient with FSHD, with the additional use of neuromuscular blockade reversal with sugammadex.
