Abstract
- Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMTD) comprises a group of disorders characterized by progressive distal muscle weakness and atrophy. We report the management of a 37-year-old multigravida with CMTD scheduled for Cesarean section. The combined spinal-epidural anesthesia was selected as the anesthetic management and postoperative pain control. Mother and baby had an uneventful recovery and they discharged home on the seventh postoperative day. Combined spinal-epidural anesthesia is thought to be a safe and effective method of anesthesia for Cesarean section in a patient with CMTD.
