Anesthesia Experience in a Patient with Myotonia Congenita
Journal Title: Bagcilar Medical Bulletin - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Myotonia congenita (MC) was first described as a skeletal muscle disorder by Thomsen in 1876. As a result of the mutation of the chloride channel gene (CLCN1), which is on the 17th chromosome, patients suffer from muscle contractility and fatigue. Malignant hyperthermia may occur in these patients in anesthesia. We presented our anesthesia experience in a patient who suffers from MC in this article.
