| Abstrakt: | Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) presents a unique challenge for anesthesiologists because of the potential complications related to surgery and anesthesia. This is a case of a 55-year-old male with colon cancer and a history of LGMD, who underwent a low anterior resection colectomy under general anesthesia. Because of the pathogenic variants in the RYR1 gene implicated in various congenital myopathies, we review clinical concerns associated with LGMD and describe the anesthetic management of our patient with LGMD and a potentially difficult airway.
