Popis: X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) belongs to a family of rare diseases due to inborn errors of metabolism. It has a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations that anaesthesiologists should recognise during the perioperative period (respiratory centre dysfunction, hypotonia, adrenal or hepatic failure, gastroesophageal reflux disease, osteopenia, seizures). The case is presented of a 42-year-old X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy female carrier, who underwent combined general and an ultrasound-guided interscalene brachial plexus block anaesthesia for shoulder arthroscopy. Induction was performed with thiopentone and fentanyl, and sevoflurane was used as inhaled maintenance agent. No events were recorded during the procedure. Her post-operative recovery was satisfactory and she was later discharged home.
