Potential effects of epidural pressure changes caused by epidural blood patch applications are important due to their interference with axonal conduction in patients with multiple sclerosis. There are limited number of case reports about safety and efficiency of epidural blood patch applications in multiple sclerosis patients. Herein, we aimed to report a successful epidural blood patch treatment in a 26-year-old female patient with multiple sclerosis.
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy is a rare hereditary disease with dangerous systemic components including difficult airway, muscle weakness, increased risk for pulmonary aspiration, cardiomyopathy, and rhabdomyolysis that make anesthetic management challenging. In this case report, we aimed to discuss the anesthetic management of a 36-year-old pregnant woman with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD) who underwent emergent caesarean section with spinal anesthesia and to review of the anesthetic management of obstetric Limb-Girdle patients in the literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
