Abstrakt:	Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive form of neurological disorder that affects both the upper and lower motor neurons. Anesthesia management in these patients is always challenging as they can develop respiratory complications because of pre-existing muscle involvement. We report a middle-aged male with ALS posted for chronic subdural hematoma evacuation (CSDH) surgery. Surgery was done under scalp block with monitored anesthesia care. The choice of anesthesia in these patients should be one that interferes the least with the disease pattern while still providing optimal conditions for surgery.
