A 21-year-old man underwent wedge resection for treatment of pneumothorax. This patient had been diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMTD) and had a history of surgical treatment of scoliosis, pneumothorax, foot deformity, and arm dislocation. Additionally, the patient showed signs of muscle weakness and atrophy in the upper and lower extremities.CMTD is genetically associated with motor and sensory neuropathy and reportedly has an association with malignant hyperthermia or a delayed muscle relaxation mechanism. In the present case, total intravenous anesthesia was performed with a combination of propofol and remifentanil, and rocuronium was administered as a neuromuscular blocking agent. Surgery was performed without delayed muscle relaxation or any other specific intraoperative adverse events.
