Myotonic Dystrophy and Volvulus: Anesthetic Considerations For an Urgent Situation and the Role of Sugammadex; A Case Report

Myotonic dystrophy (md), although an uncommon disorder, is challenging for anesthesiologists as it restricts medication choices and involves organs other than muscles. here we report a known case of an md who underwent laparotomy for bowel obstruction. anesthesia was induced rapidly, and muscle relaxation was achieved by using a high dose of rocuronium. reversal muscle relaxation was successfully done by using sugammadex with no residual relaxation. rocuronium could be used as a safe means of rapid muscle relaxation in md, and the complete reversal could be achieved with sugammadex.
