Popis: Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is an uncommon inherited disease. Anesthesia for DM patients is tough due to its potency of cardiogenic and pulmonary problems, but a series of studies have shown how to manage and avoid complications and situations. We describe a case of a 33-year-old male patient who was scheduled for an elective excision & biopsy on the left axillae for hidradenitis suppurativa with DM type I. Anesthesia was induced and maintained with propofol, remifentanil, and rocuronium. Sugammadex is used as a reversal agent of neuromuscular blockade. He didn’t show myotonia during surgery and emergence. He also didn’t show postoperative pulmonary complications.
