Abstract :
We report a case of Myotonic dystrophy (MD) confirmed after cesarean section
under general anesthesia. MD is a common neuromuscular disease in adults, and is
characterized by myotonia, and myopathy of the voluntary and involuntary muscles. Patients with MD are at high risk during general anesthesia.
