Abstract
|
|
|
|
Mitochondria myopathies consist of large heterogeneous groups of disorders resulting from primary dysfunction of the mitochondrial respiratory chain and causing muscle disease. These disorders involve the multiple organ system and appear to be extensive variability in clinical presentation. Therefore anesthetic management of patients with mitochondrial myopathies should begin with careful preoperative investigation and preparation. We report successful general anesthesia in a 22-year-old man with mitochondrial myopathy undergoing orthopedic surgery.
