RESUMENFundamento: la enfermedad de Charcot-Marie-Tooth es una neuropatía periférica hereditaria que resulta en atrofia muscular y pérdida de la propiocepción en las áreas afectadas. Existe controversia en cuanto a la técnica anestésica ideal a utilizarse en esta enfermedad.
Objetivo: mostrar el manejo anestésico de un caso con la enfermedad.
Caso clínico: paciente de 28 años con enfermedad de Charcot-Marie-Tooth que fue intervenida de urgencia por fractura diafisiaria de fémur. En el examen neurológico se evidenció atrofia de ambos miembros inferiores, con pie equino. En el examen de la sensibilidad superficial y profunda se evidenció hipoestesia distal en las extremidades y apalestesia. Se realizó técnica anestésica subaracnoidea. La paciente presentó trastornos autonómicos en el transoperatorio a pesar de que en la evaluación preoperatoria no se encontraron elementos de disautonomía.
Conclusiones: en el manejo anestésico de la enfermedad de Charcot-Marie-Tooth se deben analizar las ventajas e inconvenientes de cada técnica anestésica en función del tipo de cirugía. Se debe realizar una evaluación del sistema cardiovascular en busca de flúter auricular y cardiomiopatías, así como tener en cuenta la sensibilidad aumentada a algunas drogas anestésicas.
Background: Charcot-Marie-Tooth's disease is a peripheral hereditary neuropathy that leads to muscular atrophy and loss of propioception in the affected areas. There is controversy regarding the ideal anesthetic technique for this disease.
Objective: to present the anesthetic management of a patient with this disease.
Clinical case: a female, twenty-eight-year-old patient that suffers from Charcot-Marie-Tooth’s disease who was operated on for a femoral fracture. Atrophy of both legs with equine foot became evident in the neurological exam. In the exam of superficial and deep sensitivity, distal hypoesthesia and apallesthesia became evident. The subarachnoid anesthetic technique was carried out. The patient presented autonomic disorders in the transoperative although no elements of dysautonomia were seen in the preoperative evaluation.
Conclusions: the advantages and disadvantages of every anesthetic technique should be analyzed in the anesthetic management of patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth's disease, depending on the type of surgery. An evaluation of the cardiovascular system should be made looking for an atrial flutter and myocardiopathies. The increased sensitivity to some anesthetic drugs should be taken into consideration.
