Abstract

The anaesthetic management of paediatric patients with neuromuscular disease can be very complicated and requires careful peri-operative planning. These children commonly present for anaesthesia for diagnostic procedures (muscle biopsy, MRI), or surgery relating to their underlying disorder (gastrostomy, corrective orthopaedic procedures, strabismus surgery), or incidental surgery.
