| Abstract: | We describe the anaesthetic management of a patient with a rareform of muscular dystrophy (Facioscapulohumeral or Landouzy—Dejerinetype). Anaesthesia and controlled ventilation using alfentanil-nitrousoxide and atracurium was satisfactory. In this patient, sensitivityto atracurium was found to be similar to that of the normalpopulation, but more rapid recovery was observed. |
